PATIENT CENTERED MEDICAL HOME

​
What does Patient-Centered Medical Home mean?
​
The medical home is best described as a model of primary care that is patient-centered, and strives for excellence of care. It is a model of health care that encourages providers and care teams to meet patients where they are, from the simplest to the most complex conditions. The medical home model is where patients are treated with respect, dignity, and compassion. Providers, parents, and patients work as partners to develop trusting relationships and plan of care so that the best possible care is provided for your child. The medical home is not a final destination, but is a model for achieving excellent primary care so that patients receive care in the right place, at the right time, and the manner that best meets the patient's needs.
