Title: Patient Centered Medical Home Initiative: Case Examples (Part II)
Date: Wednesday, June 18, 2008
Time: 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM
Type: SYMP-EDUCATIONAL
Level: INTERMEDIATE
Track: -
Sponsor(s): -
Speaker(s): Joel V. Brill; Terry McGeeney

The goal of the presentation will be to create a solid link between integrated care and case management to the concept of a medical home. Further­more the emphasis will be on the patient—patient centeredness—rather than the process. After the presentation, the participants will understand the value the medical home concept brings to case management and integration of care. An important component of the medical home is a team concept of care involving all community resources.  Multi-level communi­cation is a critical success factor for multiple entities working as a team for the good of the patient. It must be recognized that technology is not an end in itself but a facilitator of good, efficient care. The attendee will also understand the importance of primary care as the coordinator of all those involved in the care of the patient. Lastly, attendees will appreciate the value of approaching the whole person as a person and not as an isolated disease or organ. Ultimately case management and integrated care should be designed as integral components of a patient centered, primary care based medical home.



Objectives:
 

1.     Describe the relationship between integrated care, case management, and the patient-centered medical home.

2.     Identify the role of team care to maximize all resources available to the patient, and the importance of communication between all team members.

3.     Examine the role of the patient’s primary care physician as the ultimate coordinator of the patient’s care in the context of a patient-centered medical home focusing on the whole patient.
