Duration of medical home participation and quality of care for patients with chronic conditions.
The objective of this study was to examine whether the length of participation in a patient-centered medical home (PCMH), an evidence-based practice, led to higher quality care for Medicaid enrollees with multiple co-morbid chronic conditions and major depressive disorder (MDD). The investigators concluded that the PCMH model was associated with higher quality of care for patients with multiple chronic conditions and MDD over time, and these benefits increased the longer a patient was enrolled.

A randomized trial of external practice support to improve cardiovascular risk factors in primary care.
Researchers conducted a randomized controlled trial to compare the effectiveness of adding various forms of enhanced external support to practice facilitation on primary care practices' clinical quality measure (CQM) performance. They concluded that, although they found no significant differences in CQM performance across study arms, the ability of a practice to reach a target level of performance may be enhanced by adding both educational outreach visits and shared learning to practice facilitation.
