Ohio

A strategic priority for the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) is to increase the expansion of the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) throughout Ohio. The ODH is leading a statewide expansion of the PCMH in order to 1) control costs and ensure healthcare in Ohio is affordable, 2) improve health outcomes and 3) enhance the patient experience. The Patient Centered Medical Home Education Pilot Project was authorized by HB 198 of the 128th Ohio General Assembly. ODH’s first major step in implementing this pilot program was the establishment of the Ohio Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative (OPCPCC). The OPCPCC is a coalition of primary care providers, insurers, employers, consumer advocates, government officials and public health professionals who came together to support a more effective and efficient model of healthcare delivery in Ohio. Care in a PCMH is foundational to all of Ohio's health improvement initiatives including the Comprehensive Primary Care (CPC) initiative, State Innovation grant, dual eligibles program, and health homes program.
