"As we've redesigned our office to become a Patient Centered Medical Home, patient satisfaction and staff satisfaction have significantly improved.
We've become better at addressing some of the patient care details that in the past might have been overlooked. We do a better job at delivering patient care to a medically underserved patient population.”

Successful Transformations
“The medical home transformation process requires more than just a health information
technology intervention. At least as critical are establishing a culture of population
management, building a team by defining roles and responsibilities, and becoming accountable
for performance”
L. M. Kern, A. Edwards, and R. Kaushal, “The Patient-Centered Medical Home, Electronic Health Records, and Quality of Care,” Annals of Internal Medicine, June 2014 160(11):741–49

(Ulka Kothari, Winthrop University, Hempstead Pediatrics)

(Carol Pisapia, Richmond University Medical Center)
