What is the patient-centered medical home model?


The patient-centered medical home model was developed to coordinate care across the continuum. Under this model, the primary care physician serves as a "gatekeeper" to coordinate the patient's care across providers. The Affordable Care Act calls for using the medical home model and telehealth services to improve health outcomes. Telehealth allows the primary care physician to reach out to a larger community or medically underserved area.
