  3. What is a health care home? • Also known nationally as the patient centered medical home or federally as APC, advanced primary care or a “health home”. • A health care home is an approach to primary care in which primary care providers, families and patients work in partnership to improve health outcomes and quality of life for individuals with chronic or complex health conditions. • Reimbursement is made for care coordination – something that is not paid for now

  4. Primary Care Delivery Redesign, What is different?

  5. What We Know About Care in a Patient & Family-Centered (Health Care) Home: Center for Medical Home Improvement • Patient and family-centered care is increased • Family worry and burden are reduced • Care coordination and chronic condition management lead to: • Reduction in emergency room use • Reduction in hospitalizations • Reduction in redundancy • Efficiency and effectiveness are increased

  6. Health Care Home Certification • The health care home rule was adopted and published on January 11, 2010. • HCH certification is voluntary for clinics / clinicians. • Providers who provide the full scope of primary care services can apply, including geriatricians. • There is flexibility for innovation built into certification. • Clinics are recertified annually. Over time based on improvements in outcomes measures.

  7. Health Care Home Standards • Access: facilitates consistent communication among the HCH and the patient and family, and provides the patient with continuous access to the patient’s HCH • Registry: uses an electronic, searchable registry that enables the HCH to identify gaps in patient care and manage health care services • Care coordination: coordination of services that focuses on patient and family-centered care • Care plan: for selected patients with a chronic or complex condition, that involves the patient and the patient’s family in care planning • Continuous improvement: in the quality of the patient’s experience, health outcomes, cost-effectiveness of services
