"A first wave of early
adopter providers, hospitals and physicians, has begun to connect with
patients and caregivers via social networks, especially Facebook. The
earliest adopters have been entrepreneurial physicians, academic medical
centers, and teaching hospitals, some of whom have actually tweeted
during innovative surgical procedures. The opportunity for the
patient-centered medical home provider is the acknowledgement that
health is where people ‘live, work, play and pray.’ In other words, the
medical home is essentially the patient’s home, and not the doctor’s
office -- it’s where the patient lives, 24x7. Thus, the mobile phone,
remote monitoring, and the Internet become essential platforms for
connected health, enabling the patient to care for themselves and their
loved ones, informed and supported by the provider’s clinical advice."

Humana created one of
the first PCMHs in the country in 2007 with Atlanta-based integrated
delivery system WellStar. That arrangement resulted in a 6 percent
improvement in diabetic and blood pressure management, as well as a 20
percent improvement in management of "bad" cholesterol levels.
