Making a Medical Home for IBD Patients
Overview
Affiliations
Purpose Of Review: The transformation from fee for service to fee for value requires structural changes to the way gastroenterologists manage patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). A team-based approach using technology to engage patients is necessary for success. The Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) represents a unique model that brings together these essential features. This paper describes how the PCMH model has been successfully applied to the management of patients with IBD.
Recent Findings: A review of the literature and three examples of IBD PCMH initiatives are presented in this document: they demonstrate how outcomes can be improved under the PCMH model. Population health and value-based payments will mold and shape how we can position our GI practices. The specialty medical home is an ideal way to begin this transition.
