ADVANCED MEDICAL

The Medical Home model represents a rapidly growing opportunity for restructuring the delivery of care , where the ultimate goal is patient centered, higher quality and more affordable health care.

Information technology, care coordination and population management interventions play a fundamental role in the success of the Medical Home model, shifting the medical model from an episodic, acute care focus to proactive, continuous care.

A Medical Home facilitates partnership between individual patients, their family and personal physician through active communication linkages. Care coordination is facilitated through information and communication technology, where all parties are able to share data related to their care, and measure impact on quality, satisfaction and utilization at the individual and population level.

In fact, NCQA Medical Home recognition is based on meeting 6 standards, each of which Pharos' Tel-Assurance platform supports:

• Enhance access and continuity

• Identify and manage patient populations

• Plan and manage care

• provide self-care support and community resources

• Track and coordinate care

• Measure and improve performance

Pharos supports the Medical Home by offering an easily accessible, easy-to-use solution that increases and personalizes care coordination, allows care access from remote locations between physician visits, facilitates a team approach to care coordination and emphasizes quality and safety.
