New Guidelines Released
By Dr. David Edward Marcinko; MBA, CMP™
[Publisher-in-Chief]
According to Chris Silva, AMA News on May, 12 2009, new medical home guidelines have just been released.
Physician Input
Four physician organizations have developed new guidelines for medical home projects to ensure consistency and help define how a patient-centered home model should look. The 16 guidelines include recommendations on who should collaborate on the projects, how they should choose practices to participate, what type of support should be provided to practices, how practices should be reimbursed, and what each project should do to analyze and report results.

Assessment
Physician groups hope clarity and consistency will lead to broader acceptance of the programs. But, what about mental health homes or dental homes; how about podiatry or optometric homes, etc? What about patient mobility?
Is this concept even viable given our increasingly mobile society? Or, is this philosophy fixed in the last century; especially in light of the Obama Administration’s HIT, and eHR initiatives? Was the fluid health 2.0 culture even considered? What are we missing?
