Patient Centred Medical Homes Consultation- South Eastern NSW

Posted on by
Reply

The University of Wollongong is working with COORDINARE to undertake an independent consultation of health care providers across the region to understand their thoughts about the key barriers and enablers to adopting the Patient Centred Medical Home (PCMH) model of practice.

Patient Centred Medical Homes is a team-based healthcare delivery model, led by a physician which provides comprehensive and continuous medical care to patients, with the goal of obtaining maximised health outcomes. Care coordination is an essential component of the PCMH. The patient has a single medical home whether the needs are primary, preventative, acute or chronic care. It requires additional resources such as IT and appropriately trained staff to provide coordinated care through team-based models.

The purpose of the consultation is to obtain an independent assessment of the range of views among health care providers and invite you to complete the anonymous survey.

The survey questions are designed to capture your views regarding the Patient Centred Medical Home (PCMH) model of practice.

Please only complete this survey if you are based within the COORDINARE-South Eastern NSW Region. (See the link below if you are unsure)

http://www.coordinare.org.au/about-us/our-region/ 

The survey should take less than 5 minutes to complete.
