In this episode, we explore the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model with our guest, Liz Pierce, MD, pediatric regional medical director for the Vanderbilt Health Affiliated Network. With over 30 years of experience in pediatrics, Dr. Pierce shares her invaluable insights into how this physician-led, team-based care model can enhance patient outcomes.
The PCMH model, rooted in the principles of coordinated and comprehensive care, seeks to centralize the patient's medical journey and make health care more accessible and effective. Because implementing the model can be a challenge, Dr. Pierce discusses the pivotal role of PCMH champions within organizations and highlights state programs that offer financial aid and coaching to ease the transition.
For those eager to embark on the journey toward PCMH designation, Dr. Pierce walks us down the path of achieving and maintaining PCMH certification, a designation granted by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). We also invite listeners to use the resources from this episode to learn more.
