National Medical Home Resources
- AAP National Center for Medical Home Implementation - The National Center for Medical Home Implementation is a cooperative agreement between the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). The National Center works to ensure that all children and youth, including children with special needs, have access to a medical home by providing medical home resources, technical assistance, and support to physicians, families, and other medical and non-medical providers who care for children.
- Building Your Medical Home Toolkit - The toolkit supports your development and/or improvement of a pediatric medical home. It also prepares you to apply for and potentially meet the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Physician Practice Connections® Patient Centered Medical Home (PPC-PCMHTM) Recognition program requirements. The AAP created a crosswalk between each of the toolkit building blocks and the NCQA PPC-PCMH Recognition Program 'must pass' elements.
- Center for Medical Home Improvement - CMHI is dedicated to helping community-based, primary care practices and networks to transform. CMHI is poised to develop consultative relationships tailored to meet the needs of Primary Care Network Leaders, Individual Primary Care Providers/Practices, State/National Programmatic Leaders, Health Plans & Other Health Care Organizations, Foundations, Consumers and Other Interested Groups.
- Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative - The PCPCC has created an open forum where healthcare stakeholders freely communicate and work together to improve the future of the American medical system. The Collaborative has developed model language for inclusion in health reform proposals to include the PCMH concept. It also acts as a key source for the continued education of congressional representatives, the federal and state governments, and individual practices on the PCHM model as a superior form of healthcare delivery.
