When you receive care through a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH), you work with a health care team that is typically lead by one doctor. The team may include nurses, a nutritionist, health educators, pharmacists and behavioral health specialists. Team members communicate with each other as well as the patient to provide comprehensive, coordinated care.
If you have time to plan ahead for an inpatient or outpatient procedure, you can research the quality of care you may expect to receive at the hospital. These websites provide information to help you make the best informed decision for your specific needs.
