 A medical home is not a building, but rather a team approach to providing comprehensive primary health care services in a high-quality and cost-effective manner. In a medical home the child or youth, his or her family, primary care physician, and other health professionals develop a trusting partnership based on mutual responsibility and respect for each other's expertise. Partners share complete information with each other. Together, families, health care professionals and community service providers identify and access all medical and non-medical services needed to help the child and family. Medical homes are especially important for children with special health care needs and their families. However, all children and adults benefit from coordinated, family-centered care. The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Medicine and the American College of Physicians (Internal Medicine) embrace the medical home approach to health care. |
