PCMH
The Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) is a health care centered on you, the patient. It is a partnership between you and your doctor. Your doctor leads a team of health care professionals in a medical practice committed to improving your overall health and to helping you reach your health goals.
Instead of just being treated for a problem here and there without making a connection between symptoms, the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) focuses on connecting the dots and coordinating care.
Your healthcare team may consist of your primary care doctor, nurses, specialty physicians, pharmacists, dietician s, care coordinators and others depending on your needs.
