“In principle we have agreement, but in practice it is a bit more difficult”: obtaining organizational buy-in to patient-centered medical home transformation.
The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) is a model of care that emphasizes the coordination of patient treatment among health care providers. Practice transformation to this model, however, presents a number of challenges. One of these challenges is getting the buy-in of all personnel to commit to making organizational changes in the journey to becoming a nationally recognized medical home. This study, grounded in stakeholder theory, investigated internal messages of buy-in as communicated by practices transitioning to this type of care.

Challenges of medical home transformation reported by 118 patient-centered medical home (PCMH) leaders.
The authors surveyed newly-certified medical homes in Minnesota to determine the most important organizational factors and strategies for transforming primary clinics into patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs). They found that many items in the survey about transformation seem to have face validity for leaders of certified PCMHs and to be associated with the extent to which their clinics have made systems changes.

Strategies for achieving whole-practice engagement and buy-in to the patient-centered medical home.
In this paper the authors describe strategies for obtaining organizational buy-in to and whole-staff engagement of patient-centered medical home (PCMH) transformation and practice improvement. The investigators suggest that their study provides a list of strategies useful for facilitating PCMH transformation in primary care. They assert that these strategies could be investigated empirically in future research, used to guide medical practices undergoing or considering PCMH transformation, and used to inform health care policy makers.
