"Patient-Centered Medical Home:  From Theory to Practice"

Lecture Synopsis:

The Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) is a model of care that emphasizes care coordination and communication to transform primary care into “what patients want it to be.”  National Committee for QualityAssurance (NCQA) PCMH Recognition is the most widely adopted model for transforming primary care practices into medical homes.  Research confirms medical homes can lead to higher quality and lower costs,and can improve patients’ and providers’ experience of care.

Educational benefit for all specialties:

  • Classify the role of Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) in Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA)
  • Follow integration of practice outlined by MACRA
  • Adapt to new MACRA reimbursement
  • Manage practice and survive the new payment system as a primary care provider
