What is a medical home?

In recent decades we have made great scientific and clinical advances, but at the same time, patients often feel left out of the center of the discussion and are responsible for coordinating their own care. Today, a new model of healthcare delivery is being adopted called the “patient centered medical home.” With its roots in the old-fashioned approach to caring for patients within the home, a “medical home” is defined as any place where an integrated team of providers can meet a patient’s primary healthcare needs, provide greater access to care and coordinate care and prevention. The “medical neighborhood” is a term used to describe coordinated care across multiple specialties. This new setting offers patients a variety of services onsite, and is that neighborhood of coordinated care.
