IT Bricks and Mortar to Optimize Patient Centered Medical Homes

This session will showcase concrete examples of how information technology-enabled Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) care models have led to improvements in health outcomes. Panelists will discuss their use of strategies and tools (such as registries, clinical decision support and panel management) to increase IT-enabled PCMH-effectiveness in a variety of healthcare settings, and will discuss how to support better uptake and spread of promising practices. Questions the panelists will address include: What are the high yield HIT investments to optimize PCMH cost, quality and population health outcomes? What are the key operational learnings for practices across the country? What should other stakeholders (i.e., payers, employers, state government, vendors) consider to improve IT-enabled PCMH performance?
