Abstract

The medical home was proposed by the American Academy of Pediatrics in 1967 as a model of care for children with special health-care needs—children with chronic health conditions who required care from pediatric subspecialists and mental health and child development professionals. In the medical home model, the primary care provider (PCP) is responsible for coordination of services from within the health care system and from community-based agencies including schools, to ensure that the child’s complex needs are comprehensively met. As the medical home model evolved, there was an increasing focus on primary care management of chronic health conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and asthma. The emphasis remained on providing care that is comprehensive, coordinated, continuous, and patient centered. In pediatrics, this means care that meets the needs of the child and family. Because services from diverse providers are integral to the model, it has also become known as the health home or health care home. Variations have been developed, including a mental health home in which the mental health professional is the care coordinator for individuals with a primary psychiatric diagnosis.
