Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH, “medical home”) is an approach to providing comprehensive primary care for youth and adults. The PCMH is a health care setting that facilitates partnerships between individual patients, and their personal physicians, and when appropriate, the patient’s family.
At the center of the medical home is a personal physician who partners with the patient to coordinate and facilitate medical care. Each patient has an ongoing relationship with a personal physician trained to provide first contact, continuous and comprehensive care. The medical home is responsible for providing for all the patient’s health care needs or taking responsibility for appropriately arranging care with other qualified professionals. The personal physician leads a team of individuals who collectively take responsibility for the ongoing care of patients.
The medical home puts the needs and desires of the patient first by creating an environment where patients have a relationship with a doctor who knows them, their medical history and their family. Practices advocate for their patients to support the attainment of optimal, patient centered outcomes defined by the planning process driven by a compassionate partnership between physicians, patients, and the patient’s family. The medical home does not restrict patient access to services – rather it helps ensure that the right patient receives the right services at the right time.
Quality and safety are the hallmarks of the medical home. Evidence based medicine, health information technology, and clinical decision support tools guide decision making to support patient care, performance measurement, patient education, and enhanced communication. Ensuring the coordination and comprehensive approach of the medical home model over time will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the health care system and ultimately improve health outcomes.
