Soldier Centered Medical Home (SCMH)
WHAT IS A SOLDIER CENTERED MEDICAL HOME?
Army Medicine is transforming from a healthcare system to a System for Health beginning with our primary care services.
We are transitioning to comprehensive, collaborative care.
YOU, the patient, are our center, our focus, our partner in your healthcare journey. Patient Centered Medical Home is a multidisciplinary approach to deliver comprehensive primary care.
Each patient will partner with a team of healthcare providers – physicians, nurses, behavioral health professionals, pharmacists, and others to develop a comprehensive, personal healthcare plan.
The Team guides and navigates the health care system with you.
YOU, the patient takes an active role as an engaged decision maker.
Patients have an active role in their health care and have an opportunity to meet with the health care team on a regular basis which builds trust and strengthens communication.
At its heart, Patient Centered Medical Home is healthcare the way it should be – easy to access, patient-centered, team based and quality focused on comprehensive coordinated care.
