WEBINAR OVERVIEW

Amid burgeoning efforts to create medical homes across the U.S., this paper describes the evidence we have so far on the effects of precursors to the medical home model on key outcomes, and how to improve studies in the future.

Dr. Peikes is currently working with AHRQ to develop a series of white papers on the medical home, describe the medical home landscape in the literature and on the web, facilitate collaboration among the various federal players, and suggest areas where further investments are needed. She helped CMS design Medicare Medical Home Demonstration, and currently she advises UnitedHealth on designing and evaluating their medical home initiatives. In this webinar, Dr. Peikes will assess the strength of evidence in studies describing the effects of the patient-centered medial home model.
