“I think we still have a
lot of work to do. We have to look at payment reform. We incentivize the
wrong things. There are incentives for procedures but there are not
appropriate incentives for communication, information sharing, and care
coordination, all of which are really important. These approaches are
essential for a patient-centered medical home to be cost-efficient.”
- Beverley H. Johnson, President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Institute for Patient and Family-Centered Care.

physicians and 6 different subspecialists and have a very high 30-day
readmission rate ranging from 12.6% to 23.7%, as compared to an
unadjusted readmission rate for all hospitalized children
of 6.5%."

Webinar: Patient Centered Care Across the Community
Advanced primary care, such as Patient-Centered Medical Homes,
transform the systems and culture of practice to meet the needs
of patients. Leading innovators are taking the next step, by
integrating care with important community-based services—such as
behavioral health, social support services, and community health
workers. These partnerships create additional tools to support
patients, especially those who are high risk and/or high cost.
On this webinar, attendees heard about leading efforts to
support this patient-centered care from clinicians, a
community-based organization, and a health insurance provider.
