A New Approach to Patient CareThe Patient-Centered Medical Home

Patient being treated in a medical home setting The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) is an approach to providing comprehensive primary care for children, youth and adults in a healthcare setting that facilitates partnerships between individual patients, their personal clinicians, and, when appropriate, the patient’s family.

PCMH practices have a whole person orientation, and patients have a continuous relationship with a personal clinician. Care is integrated and coordinated, and quality and safety are hallmarks. Enhanced access is made possible by system advances and new communication options.
