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.
