The Patient-Centered Medical Home
- A patient-centered medical home integrates patients as active participants in their own health and well-being.
- Patients are cared for by a personal physician who leads the medical team that coordinates all aspects of preventive, acute and chronic needs of patients using the best available evidence and appropriate technology.
- These relationships offer patients comfort, convenience and optimal health throughout their lifetimes.
