The Patient Centered Medical Home Purchaser Guide is an insightful overview of the patient centered medical home. It answers many of the questions employers/purchasers have about the medical home model:

• What is the patient centered medical home?
• Why should employers/purchasers support it? 
• What strategies and action steps should employers/purchasers consider now?

The Guide also includes supplemental resources such as detailed case studies, descriptions of pilot programs, a draft request for information (RFI) and contract language for employers/purchasers to use with their health plans.

During the Webinar, you will hear how employers can engage local communities to bring about fundamental change in the way health care is delivered.  The Patient Centered Medical Home Purchaser Guide was designed to educate employers about why they should consider supporting this model of care. The guide defines a list of potential strategies and immediate steps that can be taken now. Within the Guide you will find supplemental resources and an outline of who is doing what - where.  There is also a draft health plan request for information (RFI) and contract language. 

We hope you will join us!
