 First Ever Patient Care Specialty for Autism in New Britain

Jennifer Bogin, who directs the autism program at the Department of Developmental Services, said the designation was important recognition for the work of the center, and the people associated with it.

Governor Dannel Malloy acknowledged  hospital officials for having been named the nation's first Patient-Centered Specialty Practice for Autism Spectrum Disorder.

In 2013, the center received a $3.6 million state grant for an electronic medical records system that was required for the specialty designation.

NCQA certifies patient-centered medical homes, which are focused on primary care and have a coordinated, results-based model similar to that of accountable care organizations.
