PATIENT CENTRED HEALTH CARE
HOMES
The Patient Centred Medical Home
(PCMH) model plays a pivotal role
in achieving improved health of
populations, enhanced patient
experiences, health care cost
reductions, and better support for
health professionals – also known
as the Quadruple Aim. The PCMH
model continues to evolve as the
potential future of primary health
care internationally. The principles
that underpin PCMH are universally
relevant and fundamental to strong
primary care.
WentWest launched the first stage in
the PCMH journey in 2014, partnering
with 25 trailblazing local general
practices, to support PCMH principles
applied within the Australian context.
Over the years, local practices continue
to join this journey.
