Have talked with so many professionals on the lack of effective health care services for people with autism and other developmental disabilities. It's quite clear that with the shift toward more outcome-based services, that the patient-centered medical home is a model that will definitely catch on.
The Patient Centered Medical Home is a simple idea — a patient has a
relationship with a primary care physician who looks after his or her overall
health.
One would like to think health care already works this way. Or maybe it did
at one time — imagine Marcus Welby or the doctors in Norman Rockwell paintings.
Today, this concept is being driven by alarming statistics about the present state of health care.
The first problem is overall quality.
