What is a Medical Home?
A medical home is not a building, house, or hospital, but rather an approach to providing comprehensive primary care. A medical home is defined as primary care that is accessible, continuous, comprehensive, family centered, coordinated, compassionate, and culturally effective.
In a family-centered medical home, a pediatric care team works in partnership with a cild and a child’s family to assure that all of the medical and non-medical needs of the patient are met. Through this partnership, the pediatric care team can help the family/patient access, coordinate, and understand specialty care, educational services, out-of-home care, family support, and other public and private community services that are important to the overall health of the child and family.
