PCMH Outcomes and Cost Research: Important New Medical Home Findings
  Sponsor Message  
Quote
  "The model of the primary care physician providing hospital care for their patients has been changing in recent years. There are increasing numbers of patients, both adults and children, receiving their hospital care from hospitalists or specialists who are not part of their primary care practice or medical home. Ever since the origin of the hospitalist movement there have been problems with communication between the hospital provider and the primary care provider, if their is one." Jerrold M. Eichner MD, FAAP, Department of Pediatrics, University of Washington School of Medicine
