Patient Centered Medical HomeLearning Objectives • Describe the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) • Discuss adoption and implementation decisions related to the PCMH • Discuss the effects of the patient-centered medical home
Origins of the PCMH • 1960s • Children with chronic illness • Early 2000s • Concerns about cost, quality, primary care • Seen as way to achieve “Triple Aim” • Improve individual experience of care • Improve health of population • Reduce costs Source: (Berwick, Nolan, & Whittington, 2008)
Features of the PCMH • Extension of the Wagner Chronic Care Model • Patient self-management • Team-based care • Team of complementary health care professionals Source: (Wagner et al., 2001)
Definition of the Patient-Centered Medical Home • “Comprehensive, team-based approach to providing primary care that aims to personalize, prioritize, and integrate care to improve the health of individuals, families, and populations of people” Source: (Stange et al., 2010)
PCPCC Principles • Personal physician • Physician directed medical practice • Whole person orientation • Care coordination • Quality and safety • Enhanced access • Payment
Support for PCMH Programs • Number of programs have flourished • State government: 41 state Medicaid programs • Federal government: CMS, AHRQ, VA, HRSA • Private payers and employers: Hundreds of programs • Current list of PCMH programs: www.pcpcc.org/initiatives
PCMH Accreditation • National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA) • The Joint Commission • Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care
PCMH and MACRA • Alternative Payment Models (APMs) • Use certified electronic health records • Payment based on quality measures • Accept shared risk • CMMI authorized medical home
Types of PCMH Programs • Definitions and contents of PCMH vary as a result of growing number of PCMH programs • Most programs emphasize five capabilities • Care coordination • Health information technology • Quality measurement • Patient engagement • Presence of policies Source: (Burton, Devers, & Berenson, 2012)
Implementation of Patient-Centered Medical Homes • Levels of implementation generally low • Implementation higher among larger practices • Implementation higher for activities related to direct patient care than health information technology • Health IT challenges • EHR • Patient Portal • Health Information Exchange Sources: (Rittenhouse et al., 2011 Zickafoose et al., 2013)
Implementation Challenges • Requires whole-practice redesign • Scheduling and access processes • Coordination with other healthcare entities • Changes in visit procedures, e.g. group visits • Use of evidence at point-of-care • More quality improvement activities • More point-of-care services Source: (Nutting et al., 2009)
Implementation Challenges (2) • Other redesign challenges • Team-based care practices • Changes in practice management • More patient engagement • New uses of health information technology Source: (Nutting et al., 2009)
Implementation Challenges (3) • Lack of “plug and play” technology • Variation in functionalities • Lack of interoperability • Unexpected challenges in implementation • More difficult to implement • More time-consuming Source: (Nutting et al., 2009)
Implementation Challenges (4) • Need to follow best implementation practices • Attend to technical and “people” issues • Thorough planning • Change management • Provider training and engagement
Implementation Challenges (5) • Requires change in perspective(s) • Team approach vs independence in care management • Population health vs. individual patient • Patients expected to be more proactive • Change fatigue • Can lead to stress, burnout and turnover • Needs to be monitored and managed Source: (Nutting et al., 2009)
Recommendations for Implementation • Adopt realistic expectations • Transformation is lengthy process • Significant time, effort, funding • Need to work with external vendors • Plan for wide-scale changes • Expect short-term disruptions Source: (Nutting et al., 2009)
Recommendations for Implementation (2) • Flexible technology plan that meets provider and patient needs • Useful technologies • Clinical decision support • Registries • Personal health records/Patient portals • Telehealth • Develop plan unique to circumstances • Revisit plan regularly and modify if needed Source: (Nutting et al., 2009)
Recommendations for Implementation (3) • Monitor change fatigue • Attend to burdens on staff • Make sure staff understand goals • Develop an appreciation for adaptation and learning • Prepare to manage new problems • Apply previous solutions and experience if applicable Source: (Nutting et al., 2009)
Outcomes of PCMH • Generally positive effects • Quality • Consistent delivery of preventive care • Fewer emergency department visits Sources: (Alexander & Bae, 2012; Hoff et al., 2012; Jackson et al., 2013)
Outcomes of PCMH 2 • Mixed results • Costs • Access • Patient and staff experience Sources: (Alexander & Bae, 2012; Hoff et al., 2012; Jackson et al., 2013)
Healthcare DeliverySummary – Lecture d • Proliferation of programs with little consistency • Much promise, but many implementation challenges • Effects depend on outcome of interest
