What is a Patient-Centered Medical Home?
Year: 2016
Type: article
Abstract: The concept of Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) originated with the specialty of pediatrics to provide care to children with complex illness. Similar concepts were uncovered when researchers looked at high quality yet low cost health systems. PCMH concepts have been adopted by primary care professional organizations and are being supported by multiple other organizations. The implementation of PCMH practices by individual physician groups is accelerating with new payment models and other key drivers.
