Primary Care Medical Home

Health care is inaccessible and too expensive for a large segment of the U.S. population. In addition, the past decade has produced many reports of significant problems related to safety, quality, and effectiveness in U.S. health care. The future of primary care is in question because of a current and projected worsening shortage of primary care physicians. A physician-led coordinated primary care model has been endorsed by major physicians groups as having the potential to address many of these problems. The model, also known as the “medical home,” has gained momentum and appears likely to play a central role as the nation moves forward to reform health care. Nurse practitioners have traditionally practiced “coordinated primary care” and are ideally suited to lead practices adopting this model of care. This article provides rationale for nurse practitioners to be fully recognized as team leaders of coordinated primary care practices.

Medical Home Model

The purpose of this article is to explore the role of recreational therapy within a medical home model. Medical home is a movement to manage the care of individuals with complex and chronic health needs through their primary care physician and the physician’s team. The concepts of medical home are discussed. These concepts are the same as those on which recreational therapists have been trained. This article demonstrates the various ways in which recreational therapists can meet the challenges posed by serving individuals with chronic disease.The medical home model provides a rare opportunity for recreational therapists to combine clinical skills with community skills to meet the needs of those individuals in the community with chronic and complex needs. This article demonstrates that recreational therapists are already engaged and invested in this model. What is lacking is the promotion of skills and services of the recreational therapists to market and communicate this to primary care providers.

Medical Home Model

There is general consensus that our current healthcare delivery system will not be able to supply an adequate workforce, contain costs, and meet the ever-increasing chronic-care needs of the growing and aging population in the United States (US). Some of the major challenges to the U.S. healthcare system are faced by those on the front lines, namely the healthcare workers in primary care. Part of the emerging solution for primary care is the adoption of the Patient-Centered Medical Home Model. The intent of this model is to provide coordinated and comprehensive care rooted in a strong collaborative relationship. Carilion Clinic in Southwestern Virginia is implementing this patient-centered model in which a proactive, multidisciplinary care team collectively takes responsibility for each patient. In this article we will elaborate on the concepts of patient-centered care and patient-centered medical homes, after which we will offer an exemplar describing the process that Carilion Clinic is using to establish patient-centered medical homes throughout their primary care departments. Limitations of the Patient-Centered Medical Home Model will also be discussed.
