Patient Centered Primary Care Collaborative
The WAFP believes the Patient-Centered Medical Home will improve the health of patients and the viability of Wisconsin’s healthcare delivery system, and many of its operating principles for the PCMH coincide with the Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative (PCPCC).
The PCPCC is a partnership of major employers, consumer groups, patient quality organizations, health plans, labor unions, hospitals, clinicians and many others who have joined together to develop and advance the Patient-Centered Medical Home. It provides data on the effectiveness of the PCMH model as well as toolkits for practices.
The AAFP, WAFP and PCPCC hold joint principles regarding the PCMH, including the priority of coordinated care led by a personal physician that focuses on the health of the whole person at all stages of life. All three groups also prioritize the quality, safety and enhanced access of a physician-directed practice built around the notions of lasting patient-physician relationships and appropriate payment. Care is coordinated across all aspects of the health care system and the patient’s community, and patients actively participate in the decision-making process. Health Information Technology is utilized to support optimal care, physician performance assessment, patient education, and to enhance communication between the primary physician and the caregiving team. The patient also has increased access to open scheduling, expanded practice hours and new means of communication with their physician.
