PCMH care is viewed as a type of care where patients are involved in a direct association
with their preferred health care provider who organizes a supportive team of medical
professionals and experts, assume collective responsibility for the wide combined care offered to
the patient as well as arranges and champions for the effective health care with other expert
providers and resources in the community as required (Akinci & Patel, 2014)
Contribution of PCMH home care to Patient-centered care
The major objective of PCMH care is to create a basic context and environment which
facilitates corporations between individual patients, as well as their respective physicians, and if
appropriate, the family of the patients. Patient-centered medical home practices establish cross
cutting care groups so as to enhance care management and coordination of individual patient
groups aiming to improve quality, efficiency and safety in medical care. It should be noted that
over the past years PCMH care model has become broadly acknowledged and preferred. This is
due to the approach and philosophy which the model use in delivering as well as managing the
initiatives of health care. The model is anchored upon health care delivery and the focus on the
patients with group-based health and medical professionals who are focused on the safety and
quality of the form of health care that is offered to the patient, who is attended to in line with the
medical ailments and history of the patient.
