Program Description
The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) is best described as a model of primary care that is comprehensive, team-based, coordinated, accessible, and focused on quality and safety. The PCMH is accountable for meeting the large majority of each patient's physical and mental health care needs, including prevention and wellness, acute care, and chronic care. Providing comprehensive care requires a team of care providers. This event will present the experience of a regional health system in developing a PCMH. By providing one system's experience, this event intends to help other physician groups and affiliated hospitals implement the PCMH model. The target audience includes physicians, advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists, social workers, educators, care coordinators, and administrators at hospitals, healthcare clinics, and community health centers throughout Georgia.

After participating in the event, learners will be able to:
- Define the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) and its key components
- Explain how the PCMH model is applied to physician practice and administration
- List the resources and best practices for building a PCMH
