About the Webinar

The PCHCH is a coordinated approach to outpatient care based on seven principles (Sidorov, May, Case In Point, 2011):
- A personal physician
- Physician directed medical practice
- Whole person orientation
- Integrated, coordinated care
- Quality and safety emphasis
- Enhanced access
- Payment reform

When it is paired with health information technology, supporters suggest that the PCHCH’s personalized approach can transform the delivery of primary care. Initial studies on the impact on the PCHCH have been very promising. Some of the elements that are associated with success of the PCHCH include increased patient access to providers, the effective use of health information technology (such as patient tracking, predictive modeling, risk profiling, and decision support and quality improvement), meaningful incentive provider payments and dedicated care coordinators that are either on-site or are community based.

The Patient Centered Health Care Home Webinar delivers valuable insights for physicians interested in developing a patient centered health care home practice as well as case managers and other healthcare professional who are interested in using their skills and expertise to ensure efficient and effective care coordination.
