Principal Investigator: Lisa Clemans-Cope, PhD, Urban Institute

The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) is an approach to providing high-quality primary health care, focused on increasing the quality of the interactions between a child's family and usual source of health care and on coordination of care with specialists and others. The goals of this project is to understand and improve the validity of survey measures of PCMH in the general population of children and to track progress in expanding the medical home concept to more children over time. The project will examine and evaluate existing and alternative measures of PCMH using household survey data.
