A key initiative to update and improve existing care delivery models is the Patient-centered Medical Home (PCMH). Hospitals and health systems interested in establishing PCMH must find solutions to reduce barriers to collaboration across a diverse medical community. You must also enhance access to care, by electronically sharing clinical information as well as secure messaging to communicate with providers. Simultaneously enabling providers and patients to communicate and collaborate around patient care is the core goal of PCMH, and it’s also the key technical hurdle to be overcome.
Creating an effective PCMH should begin with enabling messaging amongst providers to ensure effective collaboration, referrals, records exchange, etc. Using a common platform will enable you and other providers to operationalize Medical Home needs while also minimizing disruption to existing systems and workflows. By meeting these criteria, you can implement the technology to successfully establish PCMH.
