Your Chiropractic Practice Model: Medical Home Model 

The medical home also known as the patient-centered medical home (PCMH), is a team based health care delivery model led by a physician that provides comprehensive and continuous medical care to patients with the goal of obtaining maximized health outcomes. The PCMH has been proposed as a model for transforming primary care and improving efficiency and effectiveness in the health care system. Chiropractors have the opportunity to play a fundamental role within the medical home model. By integrating chiropractic care, medical home care teams are able to effectively care for patients, and therefore meet the criteria and goals of the PCMH—improved overall health outcomes—affordable healthcare, better access and increased patient satisfaction. The Foundation for Chiropractic Progress has prepared a white paper entitled, “The Role of Chiropractic Care in the Patient-Centered Medical Home,” that provides the essential tools needed to get involved in this next phase of health care delivery.  The white paper is available at www.yes2chiropractic.com.
