Update on the Patient Centered Medical Home Movement
By: www.MCOL.com
The medical home, also known as the patient-centered medical home (PCMH), is a team based health care delivery model led by a physician, PA, NP or ANP that provides comprehensive and continuous medical care to patients with the goal of obtaining maximized health outcomes. It is “an approach to providing comprehensive primary care for children, youth and adults”.
The provision of medical homes may allow better access to health care, increase satisfaction with care, and improve health. Joint principles that define a PCMH have been established through the cohesive efforts of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), American College of Physicians (ACP), and American Osteopathic Association (AOA).
Assessment
With a medical home, care coordination is an essential component of the PCMH. Care coordination requires additional resources such as health information technology, and appropriately trained staff to provide coordinated care through team-based models.
Additionally, payment models that compensate PCMHs for their effort devoted to care coordination activities and patient-centered care management that fall outside the face-face patient encounter may help encourage coordination.
