CMHI 1993-2010
CMHI (Center for Medical Home Improvement) is dedicated to helping community-based, primary care practices and networks to transform.
The mission of CMHI is to promote high quality primary care in the medical home and secure the health policy changes critical to the future of primary care.
CMHI defines the medical home as a community-based primary care setting which provides and coordinates high quality, planned, family-centered health promotion, acute illness care, and chronic condition management — across the lifespan. Care in a medical home is rewarding for clinical teams to provide and satisfying for patients and families to receive.
Since 1993, CMHI has built upon its demonstration and research efforts with primary care practices, used lessons learned from practices and organizations that interface with them, and its model system and outcome publications. Collectively this enables CMHI to offer:
- A methodology for practice transformation using the CMHI Medical Home TAPPP™ (Gap) Analysis and an array of medical home resources, tools, and guidance
- Measurement strategies of the patient and family-centered medical home for use with practices, patients/families, state health and human service organizations, and health plans
- Medical home content expertise with experience convening stakeholders towards the development of new programs and the promotion of new knowledge
