“A recent study of 10 projects nationwide by the Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative (PCPCC) highlights the value derived by patient-centered medical homes (PCMH). The benefits include improved quality of care as a result of better coordination of care, enhanced access and reduction in costs because of fewer hospitalizations and ED visits.
At the heart of PCMHs is collaboration from a team of caregivers. But in order for those caregivers to coordinate care, they have to be able to communicate in real time and share and have access to the patient’s medical records.”
