“Policymakers all across the country are balancing multiple competing
public policy interests, made more challenging in the current economic
climate where competition for resources is high. For this reason,
embracing a medical home model, which is at the crossroads of
integrating health care delivery (improving health outcomes) and public
health (preventing disease), can help to avoid unnecessary costs and
improve health outcomes simultaneously." Marcia Nielsen, PhD, MPH,
Executive Director, Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative |
