The Patient-Centered Medical Home. Part I: A Primer

Steven Blubaugh. J Med Pract Manage. 2016 May-Jun.

Abstract

The concept of the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) represents a shift in how healthcare is delivered as it shifts from reactive to proactive. The PCMH is a care transformation model with a number of studies demonstrating its effectiveness; becoming a PCMH can be a significant undertaking for primary care practices. This article presents a general overview of the PCMH model and briefly explains how it relates to the other healthcare reforms currently taking place.
