title: The patient centered medical home model.
abstract: Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) is a means of enhanced reimbursement by both federal and private insurers; certification is the beginning step for preparation of new healthcare reform standards yet to come. PCMH certification standards are relevant to radiology departments and not just limited to primary care. Work done for PCMH efforts can be utilized as overall process improvements that the department of radiology can submit for other organizational initiatives as well as accreditations. As critical as radiology is in the application process, it currently has a very small portion of the overall project.
