Across 11 countries, adults with complex care needs who had a “medical home” reported fewer coordination failures with their care, including medical errors and test duplication, as well as better relationships with their doctors and greater satisfaction with care, according to an online first article in Health Affairs.
The study identified patients as having a medical home if they reported having a regular source of care that knows their medical history, is accessible, and helps coordinate care received from other providers.
