Patient-centered Medical Home Research Conference II

2013 Summary Report

This invitational conference served as a mechanism to review the evolution of the PCMH as a tool to improve quality and efficacy of the primary care system, and to develop policy recommendations to support it.

Broader adoption of patient-centered medical homes at this time raises a number of new questions and issues regarding the dissemination, implementation, and sustainability of the PCMH model. The overarching goal of the conference was to develop an agenda for future research on the implementation and impact of the PCMH. The meeting reviewed emerging evidence about the impact of the PCMH model on quality, access, and costs of care, and prioritized key unanswered research questions surrounding the PCMH with respect to:

organizational and professional factors (e.g., workforce development, practice transformation) that may influence PCMH implementation;
payment models to support PCMH implementation and emerging trends (e.g., emergence of ACOs, implementation of the ACA) that are likely to impact PCMH implementation;
the impact of the PCMH implementation on healthcare disparities; and
strategies for effective patient and family engagement and for the integration of behavioral healthcare into the PCMH.
