Program Description: The current void of collaborative care between the primary care physician’s practice, inpatient care, and home health is costly for the U.S. healthcare system and can result in poor outcomes. Home health and primary care in a patient-centered medical home (PCMH) has a role in addressing this need through a new approach with better care- team collaboration.

PCMH is a patient-centric model of healthcare delivery based on ongoing, personal relationships between patients, physicians, and healthcare teams, which includes the patient as a team member. In this program a primary care physician describes how a Texas physician practice transformed into a medical home, adopted PCMH strategies and partnered with hospitalists and preferred home health partners to improve care coordination, care delivery, and patient outcomes. Learn why...and how home care is part of the PCMH team. Presentation Date: 8.20.2014

• Define the patient-centered medical home model of care delivery.
