Will the Patient-Centered Medical Home Transform the Delivery of Health Care ? Timely Analysis of Immediate Health Policy Issues August 2011

The medical home is a model for delivering enhanced primary care that has been gathering momentum for several years and is now being tested in dozens of pilots nationwide, including as part of Medicare and Medicaid. The model is likely to gain even greater prominence in 2012, when accountable care organizations (ACOs) begin operating, since many believe that primary care practices belonging to an ACO will need to adopt at least some aspects of the medical home model to manage the care of their ACO’s patient panel effectively enough to generate shared savings. 1
