Advanced Patient Centered Medical Home
EPIC Primary Care has been designated an ‘Advanced Patient
Centered Medical Home’ since 2011. The National Committee
for Quality Assurance confers this recognition only on Practices
that meet certain criteria.
According to the NCAQ, the Patient Centered Medical Home is
“model of care that puts patients at the forefront of care.
PCMHs build better relationships between patients and their
clinical care teams.”
It is an innovative healthcare model designed to enhance patient
experience, improve health, and bring down cost of care.
PCMHs improve the quality of healthcare
Research shows that PCMHs improve the quality of healthcare,
and offer an enhanced patient experience; it also boosts
satisfaction of the employees of the medical home – accompanied
by a reduction in cost. To earn this recognition, practices have to
commit to improve quality continuously, and adopt a patient-
centered approach to care.
The medical home as a concept has gained wide acceptance for
how primary health care needs to be organized and delivered
across the healthcare system. This model ensures that patients are
treated respectfully, and with dignity.
It allows them to forge strong, trustworthy bonds with healthcare
providers and employees. The medical home is a model for
achieving excellence in primary care, so that the patient can
receive care in the right place and time, and in a manner that best
suits their needs.
The Benefits/Advantages of the PCMH model (1/2)
So what is special about a PCMH accreditation? What do you have to
gain as a patient?
 Less Fragmentation: The PCMH model encourages a team based approach
to patient care, communication and coordination. This leads to the delivery
of better quality care.
 Alignment with Payers: the PCMH recognition is acknowledged as a
yardstick of high quality patient care by several payers. Ergo, they provide
incentives for practices that are designated as PCMHs.
 Enhanced Staff Satisfaction: Several studies have shown that with the
implementation of the NCQA PCMH recognition, the staff at these
practices experienced much higher satisfaction. Attrition and staff burnout
reduced significantly in practices designated as PCMHs.
 Improved Patient Experience: A Hartford Foundation study showed that
the PCMH mode helped patients enjoy a much better, smoother
experience. A whopping 83% of the patients surveyed, actually reported
that their health and wellbeing improved after being treated in a PCMH.
The Benefits/Advantages of the PCMH model (2/2)
 Manage chronic Conditions Better: This model of healthcare is able to
provide superior care for patients with chronic conditions; the team based
approach helps them to manage such conditions better
 Alignment with State/Federal Initiatives: With more stress being placed on
value based care, more and more state and Federal Programs are switching
over to the PCMH model of patient care.
 Lower cost: The PCMH model lowers the overall cost of healthcare
 Improved Patient Centered Access: The PCMH model encourages more use
of health information technology along with access after-hours so that all-
round access to care can be provided, and the patient can receive care
where and when they actually need it.
Features of the Medical Home (1/2)
Let’s see what the typical features of a PCMH are, so that you know
what to expect when you visit an Advanced Patient Centered
Medical Home like EPIC Primary Care.
 It is Patient Centered: What this means is that the wants, needs,
and choices of patients are understood and catered to, through
collaboration among the healthcare providers, patients and their
families. Patients are provided with support, and equipped with
the knowledge they need to take decisions and be active
participants in their own care.
 Comprehensive Approach: There is an entire team of care
providers, who are accountable for the physical and mental
health care needs of a patient. This includes acute care, chronic
care, disease prevention, and wellness.
 Coordination: Patient care is organized across all the components
of the entire healthcare system like home health care, hospitals,
specialty care, community services, and the like.

 Greater Accessibility: In the PCMH model, patients do not
have to wait for a long time to access healthcare services; they
also have the option of accessing after hours or extended
hours care, and round the clock access via telephone or
internet, as well as seamless communication through health IT
solutions.
 Commitment to quality and safety: Both physicians and staff
provide improved quality services and ensure that patients
and their families are able to make informed decisions about
their health.
