The survey is composed of six composites. Each measure is used to assess a particular domain of the patient-centered medical home.
Composite 1: Patient-Centered Access
Composite 2: Team-Based Care
Composite 3: Population Health Management
Composite 4: Care Management and Support
Composite 5: Care Coordination and Care Transitions
Composite 6: Performance Measurement and Quality Improvement

Each of the six MHSS composites is composed of elements; each element is made up of individual factors. The factors are individual structures or processes of a patient-centered medical home. The score for each MHSS composite is calculated by adding the element scores. The element scores are based on the proportion of individual factors with a satisfactory "yes" response (i.e. the practice or provider can satisfactorily demonstrate the have in place the specific structure or process of care).
