Webinar Recording: Putting the Medical Home into Practice for Children

The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) has become known for generating better outcomes for patients, including children. In the late 1960s, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) developed the medical home model with the goal of delivering better primary care to children and adolescents with special health needs. On this webinar subject matter experts from AAP, Verden Group, and PCC EHR covered the following topics: 

  • Overcoming key barriers to comprehensive, team-based care in the pediatric setting 
  • Lessons learned from actual practices that have undergone transformation shift during PCMH accreditation 
  • Financial incentives for undergoing PCMH transformation 
  • Outcomes of PCMH transformation on billing patterns, practice finances, patient engagement, etc.
