Summary -- Patient Centered Medical Home the Necessary Foundation for Accountable Care and Population Management.
In the next 10 years, we will be living in 1) mobile world 2) in the middle of an aging and chronic disease epidemic and 3) data. But , we will also have the ability to analyze data in a cognitive way this will do for doctors’ minds what X-ray and medical imaging have done for their vision. How? By turning data into actionable information. Take, for instance, IBM’s intelligent supercomputer, Watson. Watson can analyze the meaning and con-text of human language and quickly process vast amounts of information. With this in-formation, it can suggest options targeted to a patient’s specific circumstances.
We need the basic foundation to support this transformation a system integrator where data at the level of a patients flows and is held accountable and that model is the Patient Centered Medical Home. (PCMH) starts to happen when clinicians/ healers step up to comprehensive relationship based care empowered by tools to manage the data and communicate effectively. This move to PCMH level care requires the discipline of leading a team that delivers population health management, patent centered prevention, care that is coordination, comprehensive accessible 24/7 and integrated across a deliver system and all of that is power by data made into meaningful information.
But at its core it is a move toward integration of a healing relationship in primary care and population management all at the point of care with the tools to do just that.
The Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) lies at the center of the effort to get at population health, integrated and coordinated care. PCMH is where the Primary care healer leads an organization that delivers clinician-led primary care, with comprehensive, accessible, holistic, coordinated, evidence-based coordination and management. In the USA this is now the standard in the US Veterans Administration and the US Military and under the ACA.

The Population Health Management Market 2015Lifelog Health
Population health management is a problem term because it can mean something different to each person who hears it. However, I believe that the words capture the overall spirit and energy of healthcare reform in a unique way. Providers are thinking big when it comes to a patient’s engagement, responsibility, and preventative care, and they’re leveraging technology to do it. I discuss an overall picture of PHM, present some useful technology, and tell a few PHM stories herein.
Welcome to customers and partners, we’re glad to see you back. And to you all who are new to the family, we have many exciting updates to share that show our deep commitment to health and social programs. We hope you’ll want to join in.

Virtual health is supporting continuing efforts to further humanize health care by extending and expanding the concept of a patient-centric care delivery model into one that is truly life-centric.
Virtual health uses telecommunication and networked technologies to connect clinicians with patients (and with other clinicians) to remotely deliver health care services and support well-being. For providers, committing to virtual health at a personal and organizational level affords ever-increasing opportunities to deliver the right care at the right time in the right place, in a connected and coordinated manner.
By strengthening and facilitating a therapeutic alliance between clinicians and patients, virtual health is an important step on our continuous journey to humanize health care. It works within and around a patient’s life, as opposed to their sickness, to deliver care when, where, and how they need and want it. Also, virtual health works its way into consumers’ daily routines by being embedded in electronic devices associated with living life (e.g., smartphones and personal computers) more so than caring for sickness.
The healthcare industry is primed for expanded adoption of virtual health; a 2016 report estimated that the US virtual health market will reach $3.5 billion in revenues by 2022. Several factors are elevating stakeholder interest, including expected physician shortages, continued growth in digital technologies, changing reimbursement models, increasing consumer demand, and the evolving regulatory landscape. One game-changer: Today, nine in 10 American adults use the internet, giving clinicians the capability and flexibility to communicate with and serve health care consumers via the web.
The Biggest Healthcare Trends of 2019 and What's to Come in 2020Health Catalyst
In our Healthcare Outlook for 2019 webinar, Stephen Grossbart, PhD, and Bobbi Brown, MBA, shared their predictions for the biggest trends of the year. Which predictions panned out and which didn’t? View this webinar as Stephen takes a look back at 2019 and makes his forecast for 2020.
So, what did happen in 2019? Following the 2018 midterm elections, we predicted a divided Congress would not pass policies to strengthen or weaken the Affordable Care Act (ACA). We were right. Meanwhile, Democratic presidential candidates debated the extent to which they would support Medicare for All. Insurance costs continued to rise, breaking $20,000 annually for families with employer-sponsored coverage, and CMS continued to support payment policies rewarding quality and interoperability as part of their payment policy.
Join Stephen as he looks in the rearview mirror at these important issues and how they impacted the healthcare industry in 2019 and then gazes into the crystal ball to predict the trends that will most impact healthcare in 2020. In this webinar, Stephen discusses the following topics and more:
• The continued focus on price transparency.
• Congress’ efforts to control prescription drug costs.
• Policies that may change the future of ACOs.
• What to expect going into the 2020 election year.

Digital health has been around for quite some
time. Advancements in technology, rising
demand for better care, and governments' focus
on improved health economy have contributed
to the digital transformation in the healthcare
sector. Healthcare providers and professionals
are continuously challenged to come up with
innovative and cost-effective ways of providing
effective care and better patient outcomes.
In the past few years, digital technologies
have changed the healthcare landscape into
becoming more patient-centric, with care givers
focusing on engaging patients and improving
their experiences.
According a Deloitte report, global healthcare
spending is estimated to cross US$10 trillion by
2022. As the global healthcare market embraces
digitalisation, innovation has a major role to
play. Healthcare companies have been investing
heavily in digital technologies to drive innovation

Abstract:
Currently, there is a convergence of three key factors in the global landscape that creates an opportunity for the research community to make fundamental contributions to improving the quality of life of every single citizen. Conversely, failure to recognize and act on this phenomenon may have disastrous effects on multiple levels. The first factor is the unprecedented focus and willingness to invest in the healthcare industry. The second factor is the fact that the prime directive of the healthcare sector, i.e. nothing interferes with the delivery of care, has ramifications on every aspect of information technology used in this domain. The final factor is the recognition that patient empowerment and buy-in will be critical for the advance of health information technology. These factors highlight the fact that there are inherent assumptions in the existing access models that render them ineffective and not applicable for long term use in the healthcare field.
This talk will highlight all these issues and challenge the research community to delve more the industry-specific constraints that require further innovation in the space; possibly necessitating a re-examination of the core assumptions in the field.

The keynote address was delivered at the NYSAVSA Annual Conference on June 7, 2012 in Geneva, NY. The purpose of the address was 3-fold: (1) Outline what patient- and family-centered care is, its core components, and benefits; (2)Highlight some best practice volunteer programs aligned with the PFCC philosophy; (3) Provide conference participants with an assessment grid to evaluate their volunteer programming based on two PFCC standards and walk away from the presentation with concrete strategic next steps to enhance and strengthen their volunteer programming based on the PFCC model and philosophy.
Edwina Rogers, executive director of Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative, began her presentation by highlighting the movement to advance medical homes.
With the U.S. being the number one in the world for the cost of healthcare and ranked number 37 in the quality category, something needs to change. Rogers discussed the broad stakeholder support and participation for the movement, as well as the incredible volunteer involvement. The four ‘centers’ include: the Center to Promote Public-Payer Implementation, the Center for Multi-Stakeholder Demonstration, the Center for eHealth Information Adoption and Exchange and the Center for Health Benefit Redesign and Implementation. Medical Homes will provide superb access to care, patient engagament in care, clinical information systems, care coordination, team care, patient feedback and publically available information.
Edwards explained that the Obama administration believes the medical homes concept is the best way to approach healthcare reform. The U.S. House of Representatives has showed great support for the movement and is helping develop and allocate funds for a five-year pilot program. She expressed her enthusiasm for the movement and her prediction that the medical home model is certainly the future of health care.

The Patient-Centered Medical Home in the Transformation From Healthcare to He...Paul Grundy
Surgeon General of the Navy VADM Matthew L. Nathan, MC USN
Fortunately, we have a way to address this crisis—the
Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model launched at Naval Hospital Pensacola and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland (formerly the National Naval Medical Center) in 2008. It is now being implemented throughout the Military Health System (MHS) and carries great promise. It provides the clinical framework we need to meet our strategic objectives in terms of quality of care, impact on costs, population health, and readiness. One of the most significant benefits of the team-based, collaborative approach is that it allows us to embed within a primary care environment the psychologists, nutritionists, tobacco cessation specialists, mind-body medicine therapists, and health educators our patients need in order to develop and maintain mindful, healthy behaviors—along with the “mental armor,” our active duty military personnel need to increase their operational effectiveness and their resiliency in bouncing back from stressful situations. As we move ahead with this more comprehensive approach to health, we can begin to better address so many of our patients for whom we can find no specific reason for pain and discomfort. The PCMH model also provides a positive impact on our costs. Early data reporting from the PCMH clinics at Bethesda show reduced visits to the emergency room, lowered pharmacy costs, and significant per beneficiary per year savings and improved Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set metrics, access, and patient satisfaction and trust. These positive impacts on the bottom line can be applied directly to improved costs or toward the reallocation of resources from reimbursing those who are sick to the population health-based programs that can make and keep our patients healthy.More significant, however, the PCMH environment allows us to go beyond mere collaboration and to a much more proactive approach to managing our patient populations. It is within the context of the medical home that we can begin to surround our patients with the tools and resources they need to move them from health care to health.
Patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs) are intended to actively provide effective care by physician-led teams, Where patients take a leading role and responsibility. Objective: To determine whether the Walter Reed PCMH has reduced costs while at least maintaining if not improving access to and quality of care, and to determine
whether access, quality, and cost impacts differ by chronic condition status. Design, setting, and patients: This study
conducted a retrospective analysis using a patient-level utilization database to determine the impact of the Walter Reed PCMH on utilization and cost metrics, and a survey of enrollees in the Walter Reed PCMH to address access to care and quality of care. Outcome measures: Inpatient and outpatient utilization, per member per quarter costs, Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set metrics, and composite measures for access, patient satisfaction, provider communication, and customer service are included. Results: Costs were 11% lower for those with chronic conditions compared to 7% lower for those without. Since treating patients with chronic conditions is 4 times more costly than treating patients without such conditions, the vast majority of dollar savings are attributable to chronic care.
National Conference on Health and Domestic Violence. Plenary talk Paul Grundy
explaining how the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) platform for healthcare deliver is more likely to support domestic violence prevention and creat a safer environment than the FFS episode of care system we are in now. The medical Home is a home for the data where the all the data goes and is held accountable this idea was first articulated by Dr. Calvin C.J. Sia, a Honolulu-based pediatrician in 1967.
This concept of the medical home was integrated with Ed Wagners Chronic disease Model and Thomas Bodenheimer Kevin Grumbach advanced/proactive primary care at the request of the Patient Centered Primary care Collaborative into a set of principles Know as the Joint principles of the Patient centered medical home.
The patient-centered medical home (PCMH), is a team based health care delivery set of principles led by a physician that provides comprehensive and continuous medical care to patients with the goal of obtaining maximized health outcomes. It is "an approach to providing comprehensive primary care for children, youth and adults" The provision PCMH medical homes allow better access to health care, increase satisfaction with care, and improve health. Joint principles that define a PCMH have been established through the cohesive efforts of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), American College of Physicians (ACP), and American Osteopathic Association (AOA).[10] Care coordination is an essential component of the PCMH. Care coordination requires additional resources such as health information technology, and appropriately trained staff to provide coordinated care through team-based models. Additionally, payment models that compensate PCMHs for their effort devoted to care coordination activities and patient-centered care management that fall outside the face-to-face patient encounter may help encourage coordination.
PCMH implementation, highly associated with important outcomes for both patients and providers. The rate of emergency department visits was significantly
lower in sites with more PCMH effective implementation. Efficient PCMH implementation favorably associated with patient satisfaction, staff burnout, quality of care, and use of health care services.
A systematic review of the challenges to implementation of the patient-centre...Paul Grundy
review the available literature to identify the major challenges and barriers to implementation and adoption of the patient-centred medical home (PCMH) model, topical in current Australian primary care reforms. documents the key challenges and barriers to implementing the PCMH model in United States family practice. It provides valuable
evidence for Australian clinicians, policymakers, and
organisations approaching adoption of PCMH elements
within reform initiatives in Australia.
"'I am proud that MaineCare has been working in partnership with other payers to advance payment reform through greater investment in primary care to both improve outcomes for patients and reduce preventable high cost spending in emergency departments and avoidable inpatient admissions.
– Mary C. Mayhew, Commissioner, Maine Department of Health & Human Services
Effective integration of specialty practices into medical neighborhoods is likely to require several important environmental precursors. First, a sound infrastructure
design can connect PCMHs to the spectrum of surrounding
specialty practices. An aligned information architecture
will be vital to adequate patient access, care coordination, and communication. Second, a patient centered
neighborhood will rely on an organizational culture that
supports shared learning and transparency of performance and cost data among participating practices. Third, payment incentives will have to be aligned around shared accountability for outcome and cost. Responsibility
for outcomes and total cost of care will have to rest not only with primary care clinicians, but also with specialists who perform(often expensive) procedures and specialty services.The launch of the NCQA’s PCSP recognition program is a sign of a new phase of delivery system reform

Care by design magill lloyd successful turnaroundPaul Grundy
The University of Utah purchased a 100-clinician, 9-practice multispecialty primary care network in 1998. The university projected the network to earn a profit the first year of its ownership in a market with growing capitation; however, capitation declined and the network incurred up to a $21 million operating loss per year. This case study describes the financial turnaround of the network.

This is a great example of a community in New Zealand of the interrogation of social services and healthcare. They are changing the demand curve and getting away from “we need more and more resources to see more patients”. The language we use, very deliberately, is “right care, right place, right time”. Once you start getting the whole
system to work as one system, it starts flushing out unnecessary expenditure. So you can do more and/or do it better.’ worth a read.
I did a visit to new zealand in 2003 and did a number of talks from 2003 to 2005 on the transformation taking place in new zealand. back in NZ in 2014 so looked at those early slide so impressed with the leadership and the robust primary care

Partial and Incremental PCMH Practice Transformation: Implications for Qualit...Paul Grundy
Experience of BCBS Michigan in Building medical homes
Based on the observed relationships for partial implementation,full implementation of the PCMH model is associated with a 3.5 percent higher quality composite score, a 5.1 percent higher preventive composite score, and $26.37 lower per member per month medical costs for adults. Full PCMH implementation is also associated with a 12.2 percent higher preventive composite score, but no reductions in costs for pediatric populations. Incremental improvements in PCMH model implementation yielded similar positive effects on quality of care for both adult and pediatric populations but were not associated with cost savings for either population.
Conclusions. Estimated effects of the PCMH model on quality and cost of care
appear to improve with the degree of PCMH implementation achieved and with incremental improvements in implementation.
