Patient centered medical homes have a modest, albeit positive impact on the quality of care in practices in which they are fully adopted, according to the Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative's new report, "The Patient Centered Medical Home's Impact on Cost and Quality: An Annual Update of the Evidence, 2012-2013."
The report synthesizes findings from studies on patient centered medical homes, 13 academic or peer-reviewed reports and seven industry reports. Improvements in care still appear to be modest, with most measured categories showing improvements less in less than half of reports reviewed.
