The future is now.
Yesterday morning, I still thought the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) was the abstract future of primary care. But to hear Edwina Rogers, of the Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative, talk, the future is already here.
She reported that there are 27 multi-stakeholder (as in more than one insurer) pilots of the PCMH being conducted in 18 states. In all, 44 states and DC have some kind of PCMH activity underway, and one of the laggards, Nevada, promises to be up and running very soon. The details of all these programs are available in a new report that came out today, in conjunction with the PCPCCC's annual summit in DC.
