Back by popular demand, Diane will discuss the road Roy O Martin took toward connecting their employees to a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH). Diane states, "Our journey started ten years ago, got fresh wheels four years ago and became a reality this year. There are many reasons why we, as a mid-sized employer, understand that the patient-centered medical home model is the best overall way to provide access to quality care for our employees and their dependents."Included in the topics for discussion will be why they chose the PCMH model, how they reached out to other employers, how they staffed their clinic, PCMH metrics and where they hope to be in the immediate future. She will also discuss how they decided to fund the clinic and what their philosophy is surrounding those decisions.
