In February 2007 the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American College of Physicians (ACP), and the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) published their landmark Joint Principles on the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH). This approach promises comprehensive primary care for children, youth, and adults in a partnership between individual patients and a team of health care professionals at the practice level. The team coordinates care across all elements of the health care system.
Improving health care quality and patient safety are top priorities for healthcare organizations, particularly now that the financial implications of the ACA implementation are factoring into the equation. The issues regarding patient safety and health care quality have been well-documented and widely discussed for many years.
