CMTC Healthcare – Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH)

So you ask, what is a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH)?

A PCMH is an approach to providing comprehensive primary care for children, youth and adults.  The PCMH facilitates partnerships between individual patients, and their personal providers, and when appropriate, the patient’s family. The provision of medical homes may allow better access to health care, increase satisfaction with care, and improve health.

The PCMH model has gained significant traction in the last few years mainly due to the focus and issues surrounding Healthcare Reform. PCMH concept was first introduced by the American Academy of Pediatrics in 1967 and today has evolved into established guidelines, coalition support, accreditations, and NCQA recognition.

Do we need a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH)?

Is your practice or organization ready to implement a PCMH into your current operations? If you want to improve patient outcomes and patient satisfaction; decrease costs and reduce unnecessary procedures; and decrease emergency room visits or hospitalizations; align provider performance with patient outcomes;  then your answer is YES!
