Patient-centered medical home practices spend about a third more per patient than non–medical home practices but earn nearly twice as much per patient after operating costs, the Medical Group Management Association reported.
Proactively addressing the challenge of improving the health of individuals and communities across Central Pennsylvania, WellSpan Health is establishing patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs) in its primary care practices.
The PCMH model engages providers to partner with patients to help them achieve their health goals — rather than merely treating patients when they have illnesses or injuries.
