Lessons learned from the study of primary care transformation.
This article discusses the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model. The authors conclude that the transformation of primary care is essential to achieving the triple aim of better outcomes, better value, and better experience of care, and that the PCMH may be the most viable solution in the current health care environment.

A proposed 'health literate care model' would constitute a systems approach to improving patients' engagement in care.
The researchers proposed a Health Literate Care Model that would weave health literacy strategies into the widely adopted Care Model (formerly known as the Chronic Care Model). Their new model calls for approaching all patients with the assumption that they are at risk of not understanding their health conditions or how to deal with them, and then confirming and ensuring patients' understanding. They suggested that health literacy would then become an organizational value infused into all aspects of planning and operations. They also proposed a measurement framework to track the impact of the new Health Literate Care Model on patient outcomes and quality of care.
