Patients are why we all are here. That is obvious. However, in the last few years, the concept of patient-centered medical homes have emerged. These are primary care practices that meet certain criteria listed below:
PCMH 1: Enhance Access and Continuity
PCMH 2: Identify and Manage Patient Populations
PCMH 3: Plan and Manage Care
PCMH 4: Provide Self-Care and Community Support
PCMH 5: Track and Coordinate Care
PCMH 6: Measure and Improve Performance
Although this is geared towards primary care, our office does have some primary care component and the model also makes sense for specialty care.
PCMH content and scoring details are found at NCQA website.
We can start by establishing registries of our patients with asthma, COPD, sarcoidosis, lung nodules, OSA.
We can also identify high-risk patients- based on their disease severity and psycho-soical factors.
Finally, getting a superb office EMR will let us become more patient-centered and do continuous quality improvement.
