| Summary: | The medical home model continues to attract support among health plans, employers, providers, and policymakers. Numerous demonstrations are contemplated or already under way. The second in a series looking at the medical home concept, this Forum session presented a sampler of medical home “floor plans.” Organizations represented included a rural physician practice, a federally qualified health center (FQHC), a large health insurer engaged in a multiple-payer regional initiative, and a state Medicaid plan. Each had undertaken practice redesign and culture change in order to create medical homes for patients. | ||
