“Any clinician or facility
that participates with a PCMH in a team approach to care delivery is
technically defined as a medical neighbor. Therefore, especially in a
fragmented system, retail and worksite clinics could operate as medical
neighbors. On a practical level, it seems unlikely to achieve this team
approach as their business model does not usually align with the
comprehensive, coordinated, whole person orientation of the PCMH. We
tried to partner with retail clinics to extend our after-hour coverage.
No one was interested in our community. Since they fill a niche created
by a lack of investment in the medical home model to improve access, I
believe they are competitive to the principles, functioning, and growth
of the PCMH concept. Given adequate PMPM reimbursement, we could provide
the same if not better enhanced access, including novel connections
through telemedicine.” - R. Scott Hammond, MD, FAAFP, Family Practice, Westminster Medical Clinic. |

"Demonstration
projects, like the Comprehensive Primary Care Initiative (CPC), have
shown that PCMH models, or patient-centered function, work... In year
one, the CPC program reduced the annual costs to Medicare by 2%." |
