Aspects of Medical Home Care Practices

Patient-centered

A partnership among practitioners, patients, and their families ensures that decisions respect patients’ wants, needs, and preferences, and that patients have the education and support they need to make decisions and participate in their own care.

Coordinated

Care is organized across all elements of the broader health care system, including specialty care, hospitals, home health care, community services and supports.

Comprehensive

A team of care providers is wholly accountable for a patient’s physical and mental health care needs, including prevention and wellness, acute care, and chronic care.

Committed to quality and safety

Clinicians and staff enhance quality improvement to ensure that patients and families make informed decisions about their health.

  • Assessment of the social and emotional factors related to the beneficiary's illness, the need for care, their response to treatment, and adjustment to care.
  • Assessment of the relationship of the medical and nursing requirements to the home situation, financial resources, and the community resources available.
  • Services provided on a short-term basis (two to three visits) to a beneficiary's family member or caregiver when it is shown that a brief intervention is necessary to remove a clear and direct impediment to the effective treatment of the beneficiary's medical condition or to the

    beneficiary's problem.
