“The promised successes of the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) lie
on the premise that to achieve the standards of a medical home an entire
system needs to be transformed. The transformation requires an entire
paradigm and culture shift in western medicine. If done right, the new
system will deliver coordinated, seamless care to an engaged and
empowered patient using health information technology (HIT) and a high
functioning team. The expectations are that these teams, coupled with
HIT, will better manage care, deliver high quality services, coordinate
tests and referrals, and track performance measures so that the quality
of care as experienced by the patient enjoys continuous improvement."
