“There is much about the
PCMH for which we still need more evidence, such as which features most
impact outcomes. We know, for example, that expanding hours of access to
care on weekends and in the evenings keeps patients from using the
emergency room unnecessarily. However we don't know which aspects of the
PCMH most impact quality of care, population health outcomes, and even
cost control. We have strong suspicions, but we need more empirical
evidence. Much of this work is being done now in the Comprehensive
Primary Care Initiative (CPCI) and the Multipayer Advanced Primary Care
demonstration (MAPCP). Finally, we need evidence around the ways in
which patient, family, and caregiver input into the quality improvement
process can impact the Triple Aim. As we learn more about what most
impacts outcomes, we can streamline and simplify the certification
process, helping practices, payers, and ultimately patients and their
families.”

Primary Care Collaborative (PCPCC).

"HCMC
re-engineered its outpatient model toward intensive, multidisciplinary,
team-based care....HCMC conducted a review of the utilization experience
of the clinic. The initial small sample showed striking progress in
reducing over-service. Inpatient admissions were reduced by 45 percent,
and emergency department visits decreased almost 40 percent. Ambulatory
care contacts increased by nearly eight-fold."
