The medical home encompasses five functions and attributes:

  1. Comprehensive Care – A team of providers who are accountable for your child’s physical and mental health care needs, including prevention and wellness, acute care, and chronic care.
  2. Patient-Centered – A partnership among practitioners, patients, and their families ensures that any decisions made, will respect the patients’ wants, needs, and preferences.  Patients are also provided the  education and support they need to make decisions and participate in their own care.
  3. Coordinated Care – Patients and families receive assistance with referrals, scheduling appointments and guiding them through the intricacies of each health plan as needed.
  4. Accessible Services – Patients have access to many services, including shorter waiting times, “after hours” care, 24/7 electronic or telephone access, and strong communication through health IT innovations.
