Patient-Centered Medical Home Research Methods Series Available on AHRQ Web Site

The AHRQ-funded Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Research Methods Series is designed to expand awareness of methods to evaluate and refine PCMH models and other health care interventions. These novel and underused methods can be used to better assess and refine PCMH models and to meet the evidence needs of PCMH stakeholders more effectively. Each brief describes a PCMH method, outlines its advantages and limitations, and provides resources for researchers to learn more about the method. This series was developed with input from nationally recognized leaders in research methods and PCMH models.

Evidence and Evaluation

About the Evidence:

Policy decisions concerning the PCMH must rest on sound evidence about whether this model of care helps achieve the Triple Aim of improved patient outcomes, improved patient experience, and improved value. In this section, explore information and resources for PCMH researchers, evaluators, and decision makers. 

PCMH Research Methods Series 

The PCMH Research Methods Series was commissioned by AHRQ and developed under contract by Mathematica Policy Research, with input from other nationally recognized thought leaders in research methods and PCMH models. The series is designed to “expand the toolbox” of methods used to evaluate and refine PCMH models and other health care interventions. This toolbox of novel and underused methods can equip evaluators and implementers to better assess and refine PCMH models and to meet the evidence needs of PCMH stakeholders more effectively. Each of the briefs describes a method and how PCMH researchers have used it or could do so, discusses advantages and limitations of the methods, and provides resources for researchers to learn more about the method.
