Patient Centered Medical Home
There Is No Place Like Home
On March 24, 2010, Wilkins Family Medicine was awarded a Recognized – Level 2 Status for Physician Practice Connections – Patient Centered Medical Home (PPC-PCMH) by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). As a result, our practice now functions as a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH). This recognition separates Wilkins Family Medicine from traditional primary care offices in many ways, but most noticeably in the access, coordination and delivery of care, engagement of the patient, team-based approach to provider involvement and utilization of disease registries.
A “medical home” is not a house, hospital or other building; rather, it is a unique health care setting that facilitates partnerships between individual patients and their personal physicians, and when appropriate, the patient’s family. In a medical home model, primary care clinicians and allied professionals provide conventional diagnostic and therapeutic services, as well as coordination of care for patients that require services not available in primary care settings. The primary care clinicians serve as advocates for their patients and are responsible for coordinating their care, thus averting unnecessary tests and procedures, hospital admissions and avoidable complications.
What this means for you is a transformed primary care experience that is keeps you well and helps you take the first steps towards realizing the energy, mobility and independence that comes from a high-health status.
