One innovative healthcare delivery model that incorporates an interdisciplinary care delivery team is the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model. In this model, a team of healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, and other healthcare professionals, work together to provide coordinated and comprehensive care to patients. The PCMH model focuses on providing patient-centered care that is accessible, coordinated, and continuous.
The PCMH model has several advantages to patient outcomes. First, it improves patient access to care by providing same-day appointments, extended office hours, and 24/7 access to a healthcare provider. Second, it improves the coordination of care by ensuring that patients receive the right care at the right time, reducing the risk of medical errors, and improving patient safety. Third, it improves the quality of care by providing evidence-based care and tracking patient outcomes. Finally, it improves patient satisfaction by providing a team-based approach to care that emphasizes patient engagement and communication.
One study conducted by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) found that the PCMH model improved patient outcomes by reducing hospital admissions, emergency department visits, and healthcare costs. Another study published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine found that the PCMH model improved patient satisfaction, access to care, and the quality of care provided.
