Consumer expectations and the rise of alternative payment models are driving the future of primary care delivery. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a catalyst for change and innovation, with many services shifting to the virtual environment. Putting patients at the center of the healthcare practice is no longer an aspirational goal—it is rapidly becoming a requirement. The Patient’s Primary Care Experience is a handbook for providing patient-centered care. The book focuses on the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model, which emphasizes building relationships and enhancing communication. The authors begin by making the business case for the PCMH model, then dive into implementation tips and strategies.
Topics covered include:
- Partnering with patients in creating and achieving care goals
- Improving access through telemedicine and telehealth
- Preventing and mitigating staff burnout while promoting resilience
- Integrating patient and family perspectives into systems and processes
- Selecting and developing metrics that are meaningful to staff
