Patient-centered medical home (PCMH) pilots are in high gear around the country. The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is studded with financial incentives to embrace a patient-centered approach for Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. Emerging data from multi-year pilots of the model by Geisinger Health System, Group Health Cooperative, the AAFP and others indicate that the PCMH can deliver quality care at little or no added cost while improving patient and provider satisfaction.

2010 Medical Home Performance Benchmarks: Adoption, Utilization and Results is the Healthcare Intelligence Network's second annual analysis of awareness, adoption, tools, technologies, challenges, benefits and outcomes of the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model of care.

This exclusive 65-page report analyzes the responses of 156 healthcare organizations to HIN's fourth annual Industry Survey on the Patient-Centered Medical Home Model, administered in March 2010. It updates metrics and measures on current and planned PCMH initiatives — including the emerging trend of the embedded case manager — as well as lessons learned and results from living PCMHs.

This all-new research report is supported with more than 60 easy-to-follow graphs and tables and delivers strategies and lessons learned from leading medical home adopters on key aspects of the model — from the technologies employed in the medical home to overcoming the hurdles of practice transformation to devising a reimbursement strategy that resonates with providers and payors alike.

This report provides expanded data from overall responses and also drills down to present sector-specfic data on PCMH activity as reported by responding hospitals, health plans and physician practices in the following areas:

• Awareness and adoption of the medical home model by healthcare organizations;
• Impact of medical home adoption on patient satisfaction, provider experience, care coordination, medication adherence and other key processes;
• Financial effect of the PCMH on the key metrics of provider reimbursement, healthcare utilization, operating costs, ER visits and hospital admissions;
• Targeted PCMH populations, percentage of population assigned to PCMHs, number of lives covered by medical homes and number of participating physicians;
• Data on the emerging trend of the embedded case manager;
• Key aspects of physician practice transformation, including duration, implementation cost and patient/provider engagement strategies;
• Key roles on the medical home team players — health coach, case manager, dietitian, social worker, nurse practitioner and more;
• Top reimbursement models in use by active medical homes;
• Prevalence of incentives for PCMH participation (by providers/members/patients);
• Top health technologies in use in operating medical homes and metrics for measuring PCMH effectiveness;
• Frank commentary on the challenges, benefits and impact of medical home construction;
