The Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative is a coalition of major employers, consumer groups, organizations representing primary care physicians, and other stakeholders who have joined to advance the patient centered medical home.

The Collaborative believes that, if implemented, the patient centered medical home will improve the health of patients and the health care delivery system. Employers, consumers, physicians and payers have agreed that the patient centered medical home can be an important step toward creating payment systems for physicians that reward value.

Compensation under the Patient-Centered Medical Home model would incorporate enhanced access and communication, improve coordination of care, rewards for higher value, expand administrative and uality innovations and promote active patient and family involvement. The Patient-Centered Medical Home model will also engage patients and their families in positive ongoing relationships with their physicians. Further, the Patient-Centered Medical Home will improve the quality of care delivered and help control the unsustainable rising costs of healthcare for both individuals and plan-sponsors.
