NEWS FACTS:

Model Medical Homes: Benchmarks and Case Studies in Patient-Centered Care is a 65-page report that analyzes the responses of more than 220 healthcare organizations to HIN's 2009 Medical Homes Survey and provides detailed case studies from five early adopters of the PCMH model.

Presenting survey data in easy-to-follow graphs and tables, this resource is targeted to healthcare payors, employers, providers and any organization charged with plotting a course toward medical home adoption.

This resource delivers advice and guidance from leading medical home strategists on key aspects of PCMH implementation from Geisinger Health Plan, MetCare of Florida and the HealthQuilt Health Information Exchange pilot project, as well as perspectives from two medical home consultants on physician practice transformation and the integration of behavioral healthcare into the medical home. A comprehensive "For More Information" section rounds out this essential resource.

Data highlights include:

  • Awareness and adoption of the medical home model by healthcare organizations;
  • Impact of medical home adoption on patient satisfaction, provider experience, care coordination, medication adherence and other key processes;
  • Financial effect of the PCMH on the key metrics of provider reimbursement, healthcare utilization, operating costs, ER visits and hospital admissions;
  • Targeted PCMH populations, percentage of population assigned to PCMHs and number of lives covered by medical homes;
  • Key aspects of physician practice transformation, including duration, implementation cost and patient/provider engagement strategies;
  • Key roles on the medical home team — health coach, dieticians, social workers, nurse practitioners and more;
  • Top reimbursement models in use by active medical homes;
  • Top health technologies in use in operating medical homes and respondents' expectations for healthcare IT funding;
  • Frank commentary on the challenges, benefits and impact of medical home construction;
and much more, including advice and details on medical home adoption from five diverse healthcare organizations.

Review metrics and measurements on medical home adoption, implementation and outcomes.
