LA CLINICA DEL PUEBLO DE RIO ARRIBA
La Clinica del Pueblo is a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) accredited practice
When you receive care through a patient-centered medical home (PCMH), you are the center of care. A health care team will work with you to improve your overall health by setting goals and developing a plan to meet those goals.
What is a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH)?
The patient-centered medical home is a model of care that puts patients at the forefront of care. PCMH builds better relationships between patients and their clinical teams. It is designed to improve patient experience, improve population health, and reduce the cost of care.
The primary care medical home provides health care that is relationship-based with an orientation toward the whole person. Partnering with patients and their families requires understanding and respecting each patient’s unique needs, culture, values, and preferences. The medical home practice actively supports patients in learning to manage and organize their own care at the level the patient chooses. Recognizing that patients and families are core members of the care team, medical home practices ensure that they are fully informed partners in establishing care plans.
