Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH)

What is PCMH?

The Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) is a care delivery model whereby evidence-based patient treatment is coordinated through a primary care physician to ensure they receive the necessary care when and where they need it, in a manner they can understand. Partnering with patients and their families requires understanding and respecting each patient's unique needs, culture, values, and preferences.

What can we do for you?

  • Help you manage your or your child’s health care

  • Help answer your health questions

  • Listen to you and your child’s  concerns

  • Work with other medical experts if necessary

  • Coordinate your or your child’s care through additional services

  • Encourage you to play an active part in your or your child’s health care.

What can you expect?

 In a medical home, you and your team (i.e. Doctor, PAC, Nurse, Medical Assistant, and Administrative Staff), will work together. As an active member of the team, you will have a chance to explain the things that are really important to you. 

  • Your team can answer questions and help you better understand your or your child’s healthcare needs.

  • If you need to get help from other doctors, your team can support you every step of the way.

  • When you have concerns about your or your child’s health, your medical home team will work with you to determine the best way to deal with them. 

  • Together, you and your team can work on a plan that:

    • Is personalized or created just for you

    • Is coordinated with other health care providers

    • Connects you with your healthcare team

    • Working with your team may improve the quality of your health care and shorten the time it takes to get that care.
