“A fundamental attribute of
a successful patient–centered medical home would its contribution to
improving patient access to medical care, by involving a team of
healthcare providers (nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses,
care managers, pharmacists, dietitian, social workers, educators, etc.),
led by a physician. When specialized care is needed, it is either
integrated into the practice or transitions in care are coordinated
fully by the medical home. A successful patient-centered medical home
also utilizes evidence based practice and involves patients in choosing
their own medical options and supports patients in managing their own
health. It creates strong, trusted relationships between the patients
and the healthcare providers through clear and open communications,
meeting the unique needs of each individual patient. The practice
consistently measures and responds to the patents experience and
continually works to improve outcomes.”
- Lisa Simm, Risk Manager, Coverys.

"Post-acute care
is a major component of total per-episode spending; of the episodes CMS
proposed, post-acute care accounted for 30-70 percent of costs. For
example, post-acute care and readmissions account for nearly 40 percent
of Medicare spending for 30-day CHF
episodes, and 37 percent of spending for joint replacement episodes."
