"Guiding the Transformation to a Medical Home"

The Medical Home Model coordinates the care of patients with chronic health conditions and providing them with comprehensive, accessible, continuous, coordinated, and culturally competent. Another major component of the medical home is co-management,where a team approach is created in order to build partnerships among primary care provider, specialist, and the patient. The link below takes you to an study on "Guiding Transformation: How Medical Practices Can Become Patient-Centered Medical Homes" published by The Commonwealth Fund. This evidence-based study discusses the concept of Empanelment "Considerable evidence has demonstrated that positive outcomes such as improved health status and higher patient satisfaction result from care provided by the same clinician and care team over time. A deliberate effort by the practice to link each patient or family with a specific provider—a process known as empanelment—facilitates continuity of relationship. In addition, the creation of patient panels allows practice teams to monitor their panel to identify and reach out to patients needing more attention and services. "
