Measuring the cost of the patient-centered medical home: a cost-accounting approach.
To explore the cost for individual practices to become more patient-centered, this study inventoried and calculated costly activities involved in implementing the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) as defined by the National Committee for Quality Assurance.

Impact of a patient-centered medical home pilot on utilization, quality, and costs and variation in medical homeness.
This study evaluated the impact of a patient-centered medical home (PCMH) pilot on utilization, costs, and quality and assessed variation in PCMH components. There were no statistically significant findings for utilization, cost, or quality in the expected direction. Medical Home Index (MHI) scores suggest variation in type and level of implemented features.

Resource use and Medicare costs during lay navigation for geriatric patients with cancer.
This study examined the influence of lay navigation on health care spending and resource use among geriatric patients with cancer within The University of Alabama at Birmingham Health System Cancer Community Network. It found that, compared with a matched comparison group, the mean total costs declined by $781.29 more per quarter per navigated patient, for an estimated $19 million decline per year across the network.

Synthesis of research on patient-centered medical homes brings systematic differences into relief.
This study evaluated the impact of patient-centered medical home (PCMH) initiatives on utilization, cost, and quality, by conducting a meta-analysis of methodologically standardized findings from evaluations of eleven major PCMH initiatives. There was significant heterogeneity across individual evaluations in many outcomes. Across evaluations, PCMH initiatives were not associated with changes in the majority of outcomes studied, including primary care, emergency department, and inpatient visits and four quality measures.
