Despite these shortcomings, the US has been a major innovator in healthcare technology including the development of biological and pharmacological drugs. The shortcomings of our system are often focused on the fact that a significant portion of the p...

PI 2009 Conference Presentation: identifying the need of a PCMH to address its interconnectedness to the medical community within which it operates. Interoperability is often glossed over in preparing the transformation, but remaining electronically isolated disrupted nearly 75% of a PCMH's ability to perform at maximum capacity. Many of the core elements of a PCMH require the export and import of information; if interfaces and exchanges are not set up, the EHR becomes a very expensive word processor that only generates billing documents. This presentation elaborates on these points and offers education and tips on plannin...

Abstract: Amid ongoing legislative efforts to achieve universal coverage and reduce costs while improving quality of care, heart failure represents a major public health problem, challenging us to restructure systems of reimbursement and care. The “medical home” represents the best option for aligning and incentivizing multidisciplinary groups of providers to optimize decision-making for individual patients and the population, at large, and to compete based on quality and cost. For the medical home to meet the needs of patients with heart failure, it must eliminate barriers and facilitate collaboration among specialist...

In the middle of the health reform debate is the issue of medical homes. Many interest groups are positioning themselves around this concept because of the potential that they have to help manage chronic diseases. The attraction to the medical home is due to the overall goal of reform efforts to cut health care spending costs and improve care and coordination for those patients who need it the most—ie, patients with one or more chronic conditions. Based on pilot programs already underway, medical homes show a lot of promise in achieving this goal. (Source: Journal of the American Dietetic Association)
