Objectives: To identify factors that have led to successful involvement of pharmacists in patient-centered medical home (PCMH) practices, identify challenges and suggested solutions for pharmacists involved in medical home practices, and disseminate findings.
Data Sources: In July 2011, the American Pharmacists Association Academy of Pharmacy Practice & Management convened a workgroup of pharmacists currently practicing or conducting research in National Committee for Quality Assurance-accredited PCMH practices.
Data Synthesis: A set of guiding questions to explore the early engagement and important process steps of pharmacist engagement with PCMH practices was used to conduct a series of conference calls during an 8-month period.
Conclusion: Based on knowledge gained from early adopters of PCMH, the workgroup identified 10 key findings that it believes are essential to pharmacist integration into PCMH practices.

The Institute for Urban Indigenous Health Ltd, Windsor, Queensland, Australia.
Rationale: The Patient-Centred Medical Home (PCMH) is a model of team-based care that is patient centred, coordinated, accessible, and focused on quality and safety. To learn how this model of healthcare works in an Indigenous primary health care setting in Australia, we explored the experiences of health staff in an urban Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service (ACCHS) transitioning to an adapted model of a PCMH. Normalisation Process Theory (NPT) was applied to better understand factors enabling and inhibiting implementation of the PCMH, and the work required to deliver it.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of a statewide multipayer patient-centered medical home (PCMH) demonstration on patients consistently within the highest ranks of health services expenditure across Maryland.
Study Design: Post hoc longitudinal analyses of administrative data on privately insured patients of medical homes that participated in the Maryland Multi-Payer PCMH Program (MMPP), matched for comparison to medical homes in a single-payer PCMH program and to non-PCMH practices.

Purpose: The new era of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) against the hepatitis C virus (HCV) has led many primary care clinicians to begin treating HCV. Nevertheless, many patients are referred to specialists due to comorbidities, care complexities, and knowledge gaps of the primary care provider. We compared clinical outcomes for patients treated within a Family Medicine Residency Program (FMRP) affiliated patient-centered medical home (PCMH) with those referred to a specialist.
