"It's possible to have a level 3 PCMH that doesn't save money and
actually drives up costs. That's a really big problem and could threaten
to derail the entire PCMH movement. It's time to refocus our PCMH
efforts on care coordination. It's the only intervention that can
generate savings within a few months of concentrated efforts. The other
items in the PCMH model are important and deserve attention, but
clinical transformation needs to demonstrate immediate value.” Jeffrey
Brenner, MD, Director, Institute for Urban Health at Cooper University
Hospital, Executive Director, Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers |

Corner: The pessimist says that pressures on
States to reduce health care costs and the
possibility of Medicaid cuts by the “Super
Committee” represent serious threats to the
continuing development of medical/health
homes in the safety net. The optimist says
that the models in place now managing care
for the highest cost, highest need patients
are producing savings and will be even more
important in the future. Where do you come
