Patient Centered Medical Home
The Patient Centered Medical Home concept is an innovative setting in health care currently being proposed to area practitioners. This initiative fosters highly involved relationships between individual patients and their personal physicians, and it also involves the patient’s family, when fitting. The Patient Centered Medical Home takes advantage of available resources such as registries, health information technology and health information exchange among participating practitioners to ensure that patients receive the medical care they require.
What are the benefits of this concept?
While switching over to the Patient Centered Medical Home concept is still a work in progress, many physicians are embracing this change and actively seeking ways to implement the process into their own practices. Not only does this method promote better health care for patients, it also promotes efficient use of resources and technology, which ultimately cuts expenses immensely.
What is MiHIA doing in this area?
MiHIA is set on helping all willing participants to restructure their practices into more proficient and more profitable ventures. MiHIA is currently researching sources of funding to assist with the costs associated with the technological advancement of the Patient Centered Medical Home and is positioned to help with the actual implementation and training at each practice.
