Patient-Centered Medical Home
There has been growing consensus for the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) as a solution to containing healthcare costs and promoting high-quality patient-centered care. The PCMH is a model of primary care delivery which provides accessible, continuous, coordinated, and comprehensive services to patients. Many providers, especially those caring for low-income patients, will need substantial assistance to reach the standards and produce the measures needed to gain PCMH recognition.
