This document discusses the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model and its benefits. It provides examples of how the PCMH approach coordinates care through a team-based approach focused on managing patient populations, uses data to drive decisions and improve outcomes, and shifts care away from episodic visits to proactive health management. Studies show the PCMH approach can reduce costs through lower utilization of emergency rooms, hospitals, and specialty care while improving quality of care and patient outcomes.
