AB The  vast  changes  occurring  in  medicine  today  are  most  prominent  in  ambulatory  care.  With  the  Patient  Protection  and  Affordable  Care  Act  passed  in  2010,  and  growing  urgency  to  curtail  the  rising  costs  of  health  care,  ambulatory  care  has  seen  rapid  changes  to  practice.  The  patient-centered  medical  home  (PCMH)  is  one  of  the  most  widely  adopted  models  of  ambulatory  health  care  that  has  been  disseminated  across  the  United  States  in  recent  years.  The  Centers  for  Medicare  and  Medicaid  Services  and  the  Veterans  Affairs  (VA),  have  both  been  implementing  PCMH  models  at  community  health  centers  and  VA  medical  centers  around  the  country;  private  insurers  and  health  plans  are  also  redesigning  their  practices  into  PCMH  models.
