A patient-centered medical home
links a patient to one physician in a longitudinal
relationship, usually a primary care physician,
who oversees all care, whether providing it directly
or overseeing the care provided by a specialist
or hospital.
Bryant's will help you understand
the structure of a patient-centered medical home
and the advantages of building this structure
at your site.
Benefits of a Patient-Centered
Medical Home
There are many benefits for both
patients and primary care physicians. A few of
these are:
Outcomes are better for patients.
Physicians will find more time to spend with
patients with chronic diseases and thus better
educate them.
Income will rise as sites generate more income
from pay-for-performance programs or insurers.
Nationwide, Aetna and WellPoint are paying primary
care providers more for being certified as a
PCMH. CMS is studyig whether they should do
this.
Patients will experience fewer adverse events
from interaction of multiple medications. The
primary care physician will be able to help
the patient intelligently manage all of his
or her medications.
Bryant's will show you ways to use data from
different sources to improve the quality of
outcomes for patients
How does Bryant's work
with its clients to build a Patient-Centered Medical
Home?
First Bryant's will help you
decide what type of medical home you want to build.
The NCQA version is most common but many states
and insurers have developed PCMH's that you may
want to implement. Whichever version of medical
home best fits your needs, Bryant's will help
you implement the model in a logical fashion that
meets your needs for certification.
Bryant's will collaborate with
you in achieving designation as a PCMH in a manner
that best suits your needs. Bryant's can work
work with you face-to-face at your site or Bryant's
will work via electronic face-to-face media, such
as GoToMeeting, Skype or Apple's Facetime.
