title: The Pain Medical Home: A Patient-Centered Medical Home Model of Care for Patients with Chronic Pain.
abstract: Chronic pain affects an estimated 100 million people a year in the United States and costs society anywhere from $560 to $635 billion annually. The patient-centered medical home and the patient-centered medical home-neighbor models of care have been advocated to improve patient outcomes. These models of care advocate improved coordination of care within the primary care and specialty care setting. The authors present the patient-centered medical home model of care and suggest how this model of care might be used to improve patient outcomes for patients with chronic pain.
