Patient-Centered Medical Homes Open Questions • What is the impact of the medical home on quality, cost of care, patient and physician satisfaction? • Which aspects of this medical home pilot are sustainable? Which can reasonably be replicated? • How to provide funding for primary care practitioners and their teams, particularly in a self-insured commercial market? • What is the opportunity for medical homes in pediatric practices, small practices, rural practices? • How does the medical home address the entire continuum of care, including specialty and hospital-based care? • Most importantly, how does the person (patient) become aware of and participate in the medical home?
