THE PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOME2 The effective organization of a patient’s health care service is a vital element of efficient and high-quality care. Two new models have provided a chance to increase the extent and efficiency of care coordination in the states. The two models comprise of the Patient-Centered Medical Home(PCMH) and the accountable care organization (ACOs). The models work in hand with medical institutions in providing direct management of services, infrastructure, and incentives to facilitate collaboration. PCMH is a care provision model where patient’s handlings are organized through their key maintenance practitioner to guarantee that they obtain the best care in a way they all understand (Havens et. Al, 2010). The models aim is to have a unified setting that can enable a partnership between personal physicians and their patients. Care is facilitated by health information exchange to assure the patient get the indicated need. PCMH can be applied in most health care facilities to improve the design because of some particular features. First, the ACP Practice Advisor, an online tool that helps utilize self-paced module. With this mode of technology, most healthcare providers including chronic care management, have created onsite integrated care management program that helps train and certify nurses and therapist all over the nation. Also, the creation of joint guidelines for Patients-Centered Medical Home will ensure that there is some standardization among the programs. The universal principles will help guide medical school curricula in ensuring that they all have the expertise to practice in a reform health center (Jackson et. Al, 2013). A set of guidelines created help provide direction to projects to facilitate more understanding of information. Development of home diuretic protocol projects that demonstrate interventions to avoid hospitalization has been created. In conclusion, care coordination interventions should be designed to reflect the strengths and needs of the community.
