“We are seeing some
innovative partnerships that are showing the evolution of medical homes
to medical neighborhoods. For example, community health centers in rural
areas are partnering with local farms to provide produce markets for
their patients and the surrounding community. We've seen practices
working with local restaurants and retailers to provide nutrition and
cooking classes, as well as guided tours of grocery stores to help
diabetic patients and their families understand healthy food choices.
There are also health care and housing organizations working together to
ensure that homeless patients suffering from mental illness or substance
abuse are cared for during transitions, along with many, many more. And
on behalf of the PCPCC, the increase in these partnerships has been
extremely uplifting because it really captures the spirit of what the
medical home movement is all about: equal access and quality of care for
all.” Marci Nielsen, PhD, MPH, Chief Executive Officer, Patient-Centered
Primary Care Collaborative |

In a two-year
randomized trial, primary care physicians who were transitioned to a
medical home model - with support that included practice redesign, care
managers, and a revised payment plan - saw the overall number of care
episodes resulting in ED (emergency department) visits for their
patients reduced by 3.8 ED visits per year, saving approximately $1,900
in ED costs per physician, per year in comparison with a control group
of physicians.
