Our Approach
The PCMH model of care focuses on five areas:
- Building strong, collaborative health care teams that work together to meet the needs of patients
- Providing patient-centered care addressing the whole person, respecting patients’ values and preferences
- Coordinating comprehensive health care through clear communication among patients, families, caregivers, medical and behavioral health providers, hospitals, and other facilities
- Improving patients’ access to care, through such initiatives as expanded office hours and providing email access to electronic medical records
- Improving health care quality and standards by providing evidence-based care, patient and family education, and self-management support
