Specialty use among patients with treated hypertension in a patient-centered medical home.
The researchers described changes in outpatient specialty use among patients with treated hypertension during and after patient-centered medical home (PCMH) practice transformation. Their results suggest that more comprehensive primary care in this PCMH redesign enabled primary care teams to deliver more hypertension care, and that many needs of low morbidity patients were within the scope of primary care practice.

Invited letter: the evolving model of health care in the United States: system change is not enough.
In this letter, the author argues that the spread of new health care delivery models such as the Patient-Centered Medical Home and Accountable Care Organizations are necessary to improve population health but do not fully address the need for a fundamental change in how patients think about and access care. He calls for raising patient awareness of how the health care delivery system works and draws attention to practitioners’ concerns about patient satisfaction as a definitive marker of quality.
