New Diabetes Medical Home Video Spotlights Improvements in Clinical Outcomes, Compliance and Resource Use
Manasquan, NJ (PRWEB) April 3, 2008 -- When two healthcare organizations applied the framework of the patient-centered medical home model to the care of diabetics in their populations, they experienced dramatic improvements in patient compliance, outcomes and costs. Results of these one-year pilots are the subject of a new HIN video called "The Patient-Centered Medical Home and Diabetes." The video is the latest addition to HIN's Medical Home Monitor (http://www.hin.com/cgi-local/link/news/pl.cgi?medhomeportalpr), an online compendium of video, white papers, podcasts, special reports and audio conferences chronicling the emergence and adoption of the medical home model.
· Background on the medical home: In the medical home model, the patient's physician leads a team that collectively takes responsibility for the patient's ongoing care, which is coordinated across hospitals, nursing homes, insurers and the patient's family and community. Initially advanced by pediatricians in the 1990s, the model is gaining ground throughout primary care.
· Video Highlights: In the first pilot of the medical home model for diabetics, a data-sharing partnership between physician and payer nearly doubles patients' compliance with a key diabetes marker. In the second pilot, efforts to educate Medicaid patients with diabetes pay off in more cost-effective utilization of healthcare resources.
· Survey Highlights: According to a January 2008 HIN e-survey, the medical home model is gaining increasing acceptance in the healthcare community. Nearly 75 percent of healthcare organizations responding to the non-scientific survey said they were aware of the medical home model, up from 50 percent in a 2006 survey. HIN has summarized its latest survey findings in a complimentary white paper, Medical Home Awareness and Early Successes (http://www.hin.com/library/registermedhome08.html), which also details how healthcare organizations are building medical homes from the ground up.
· More Medical Home Resources: Visit HIN's Medical Home Monitor (http://www.hin.com/cgi-local/link/news/pl.cgi?medhomeportalpr) for the latest audio, video and print materials on the patient-centered medical home at work.
QUOTE ATTRIBUTABLE TO MELANIE MATTHEWS, HIN EXECUTIVE VP AND COO:
"This video quantifies what we have learned from our surveys on this topic -- that utilization of the medical home model has intensified since we first polled our online audience in 2006. This is just one disease-specific application of the patient-centered medical home that has demonstrated significant success; its tenets are now being applied to other chronic illnesses. Healthcare providers and insurers can learn much from these early gains and begin to chart their own transformation to a medical home model. Assigning individuals to a medical home reduces unnecessary strain on emergency rooms that don't have the resources to provide primary care, and will also reduce acute chronic care episodes."
