Care Coordinators

The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) is an approach to delivering comprehensive, continuous, coordinated care across all life stages and has been hypothesized to be one potential solution to the discrepancy between the high cost but low quality of health care in the US. Although a plethora of literature exists on how pharmacy interventions can improve the quality of patient care through medication therapy management programs, there is a paucity of data supporting pharmacists' involvement in PCMHs. Pharmacists are uniquely trained and positioned to make important contributions to PCMHs as medication care coordinators. The opportunity is now for pharmacists to establish their role within this medical setting.

The Cost

The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) has increasingly received attention as a model of care to potentially remedy the cost and quality problems that confront the US health care system, including and especially ambulatory care–related issues. This study examined the association between physician practices’ PCMH capacity and 3 indicators of ambulatory care utilization: (1) emergency department utilization, (2) ambulatory care sensitive hospitalization rate, and (3) 30-day all-cause readmission rate. Results show that overall PCMH capacity is associated with lower rates, and technical aspects of the PCMH in particular were associated with lower utilization rates while interpersonal capabilities were not.
