This was a first-time recognition for the following practices:
Delphos Medical Associates St. Rita's Family Medicine at Columbus Grove
PCMH focuses on strengthening the relationship between the patient and the physician while providing typical family medicine services. With the medical home model, patients are active participants in their care and the primary care physician serves as the home, or the office where patients go for the majority of their medical needs. The medical home model focuses on a team approach. Primary care physicians, specialists and the patient all communicate and work towards the same health care goal, through patient counseling, discussion of lifestyle changes and the management of chronic conditions. This model is cost-effective and results in less expensive healthcare for patients.
