“There is a personal
participation which is at the individual patient level, and which we
call ‘shared-decision making.’ In this dynamic of the PCMH, the patient
and/or family ‘grasp’ -– comprehend and ‘take hold’ -– of the plan of
care and treatment plan. It is through ‘shared- decision making’ that
patient activation and engagement takes place. The patient and/or family
‘own’ the plan of care and actively participate in it execution. At an
organizational or institutional level, patient and/or family
representatives should be invited to serve on a ‘Community Council’ – as
we do here at SETMA -- which meets at least four times a year to discuss
practice issues. The provider commitment to the patient and family
should be that if the recommendations of the council do not violate
ethical standards, statutory requirements, or moral values, they should
be enacted. This further increases the patient and family ‘ownership’ of
the practice and should strengthen the PCMH.”
- James (Larry) Holly, MD, CEO, Southeast Texas Medical Associates
(SETMA); Adjunct Professor, Family & Community Medicine, University of
Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio School of Medicine and Clinical
Associate Professor, Department of Internal Medicine, School of
Medicine, Texas A&M Health Science Center.

"ICER [The
Institute for Clinical and Economic Review] notes that up to 70% of
physician visits involve a behavioral health issue and health care costs
for patients with behavioral health conditions are typically 2-3 times
higher than for patients without these conditions."
