The Patient-Centered Medical Home - Closing the Quality Gap: Revisiting the State of the Science

AHRQ Continuing-Education Resource Describes How PCMH Model Improves Care

A new AHRQ continuing-education resource identifies efforts to evaluate the comprehensive patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model, summarizes current evidence for the model and identifies gaps in the evidence. The PCMH is a model of primary care transformation that seeks to meet the variety of health care needs of patients and improve patient and staff experiences, outcomes, safety and system efficiency. More information about PCMH interventions can be found in an AHRQ evidence reporttitled “Closing the Quality Gap Series: The Patient-Centered Medical Home.”
