The patient-centered medical home model facilitates partnerships between individual patients, their families and their personal physicians. In many cases, a patient-centered home can provide care that patients need in a manner that is both culturally and linguistically appropriate. To begin a dialogue around the issues of maintaining and developing patient-centered medical homes, Senator Thomas K. Duane, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, will hold a public roundtable on December 15th in New York City.
Among the topics to be addressed at this stakeholders meeting are the experiences of current patient-centered medical home initiatives across the state, their successes and challenges, of Department of Health initiatives to support patient-centered medical homes. Ultimately, the goal of the roundtable meeting is to identify ways that the legislature can be helpful in strengthening the medical home model in New York State.
