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.
