patient-centered medical homes (PCMH)

A Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) is a healthcare model that emphasizes collaborative, coordinated care for patients. In a PCMH, a primary care team works together with the patient, ensuring that all aspects of their health are managed effectively. This includes regular check-ups, preventive care, and chronic illness management. The goal is to provide personalized healthcare that is accessible, continuous, and holistic, improving overall patient experience and outcomes. Essentially, a PCMH acts as a home base for patients to receive coordinated care, making it easier for them to navigate the healthcare system.
