Incorporating Patient- and Family-Centered Care Into Practice: The PA Medical Home Initiative.

The medical home model is the standard of health care delivery in primary care that is used to provide comprehensive and continuous medical care to patients by enhancing access to care, increasing patient satisfaction, and improving health outcomes. Promoting effective partnerships between families and clinical practice teams by engaging parents as partners in their children’s care ensures that families receive all the needed services by creating mechanisms for parental and/or caregiver input and embodying the quadruple aim of the health care framework (assessing patient and family experience, provider experience, reduced costs, and population health outcomes)
