Patient-Centered Medical Home Model – What is it?

A medical home is a way to give complete primary care that promotes partnerships between patients, clinicians, medical staff, and families. A medical home goes beyond the walls of clinical practice. It encompasses specialty care, educational services, family support, and more. By implementing medical home functions, you can deliver better, more effective, and more efficient care while responding to each patient’s unique needs and preferences.

Why is medical home care necessary?

The patient-centered medical home is not a final destination but a model for achieving primary care excellence to receive care at the right time, in the right place, and in the way that best suits a patient’s needs. It is where patients are treated with dignity, respect, and compassion, enabling them to build strong and trusting relationships with providers and staff. As a result, the medical home model can help you provide better coordinated, more comprehensive, and personalized care while at the same time granting improved access to medical care and services and ensuring improved health outcomes, especially for patients who have chronic conditions.
