Home Visits in the PCMH
Discover how a home visit can deliver savings to a patient-centered medical home (PCMH) during the May 20, 2010 webinar, "Home Visits in the Patient-Centered Medical Home."



April 28, 2010

MANASQUAN, NJ, USA — While costly to conduct, home visits to patients with complex care needs can provide huge returns. Many PCMH initiatives are using home visits as part of a care transition program to reduce avoidable hospital readmissions and ER utilization. Industry experts will examine the features of a successful home visit initiative, from the types of patients to visit to the actual visit itself and the outcomes that it can achieve, during "Home Visits in the Patient-Centered Medical Home," a 45-minute webinar on May 20, 2010 at 1:30 Eastern sponsored by the Healthcare Intelligence Network.

QUOTE ATTRIBUTABLE TO MELANIE MATTHEWS, HIN EXECUTIVE VP AND COO:

Click here for Melanie Matthews's profile.

"When visiting a patient in their home, physicians see a different version of their patient than they saw in the hospital. When they are home, most patients have difficulty taking care of themselves as far as when to take certain medications, what they should and should not eat, etc. This webinar will highlight the importance of home visits to the PCMH in coordinating quality patient care to reduce potential readmissions."
