MediQHome is BCBSWY’s own version of a Patient-Centered Medical Home model of healthcare—an approach to delivering medicine that focuses on a long-term partnership between a patient and his or her doctor and if appropriate, their family. The doctor and clinic become a “medical home” where all care is coordinated and where the patient has access to credible information about their health. The goal of MediQHome is to involve the patient in medical decisions and provide easy access to clinical staff beyond regular doctor appointments.
The improved medical collaboration is made possible by a sophisticated backbone, MDinsight, which helps everyone stay informed and provides your patient data in one easy-to-use tool. The program is especially beneficial to those with chronic conditions such as diabetes, coronary heart disease, hypertension, asthma, and chronic heart failure. It also benefits a wider group by tracking pediatric and adult immunizations and colon, cervical and breast cancer screenings.
When healthcare providers work together through MediQHome, diagnosis is faster and conditions can be better managed. In fact, this model often prevents problems from occurring in the first place. That kind of collaboration not only gives the patient a better quality of life, it helps hold down the cost of medical care for everyone.
