The Patient Centered Medical Home
Self-Management Tools for Patient Sucess
What is the Patient Centered Medical Home?
The Patient Centered Medical Home is an approach to providing comprehensive primary care that facilitates partnerships between individual patients, their personal physicians and, when appropriate, the patient’s family. The medical home is designed to enable better access to health care, increase satisfaction with care, and improve health.

Improving the Medical Home with Patient Self-Management
The Patient Centered Medical Home only works if patients take active roles in their care. Clinicians and caregivers see patients for just a few minutes at a time. The rest of the time, it’s up to patients to self-manage their health. Empowering patients with online self-management tools is critical to their success. Further, self-management tools help clinicians and healthcare organizations meet NCQA requirements for medical home certification.
Emmi® programs make complicated medical information simple and easy to understand. Covering a variety of chronic conditions and medical/surgical procedures, the programs use plain language and interactive media to inform and engage patients—ensuring that every patient receives excellent education every time. The programs are also self-documenting, enabling clinicians and caregivers to prescribe self-management tools and then track patient engagement from within the electronic medical record.
Together with our innovative partners, Emmi Solutions helps leading healthcare organizations empower patients to make the Medical Home Model a success.
