a) Patients who receive continuity of care with a personal practitioner have better health outcomes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
b) Comprehensive care (providing or arranging for all of the patient’s health care needs) would improve patient’s overall health.
|
|
|
|
|
|
c) Team based care is important and will improve the health of patients.
|
|
|
|
|
|
d) Team based care will decrease the quality of care since it will limit patient’s ability to see their physicians.
|
|
|
|
|
|
e) Care coordination (staff arrange for and follow-up on treatment plans)takes too much time and is too expensive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
f) In a PCMH model, medical care is standardized and follows evidence-based guidelines.
|
|
|
|
|
|
g) Disease registries are tools that will improve treatment of patients with chronic condition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
h) In a PCMH, the physician takes responsibility to ensure that all patients with chronic condition in his/her practice are receiving appropriate care.
|
|
|
|
|
|
i) In a PCMH, tests and consultations are tracked and follow-up care is made after patients are treated at the emergency department and hospital.
|
|
|
|
|
|
j) It is the patient’s responsibility to seek care for their medical condition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
k) Medication reconciliation is an important step toward safe medical care.
|
|
|
|
|
|
l) Medication reconciliation should be performed by pharmacist or nursing staff, not by physician.
|
|
|
|
|
|
m) In a PCMH, an interprofessional team works at the top of their licenses to serve the patients.
|
|
|
|
|
|
n) Health information technologies (electronic health records, disease registries, clinical decision support tools) are used for management of populations of patients in the PCMH.
|
|
|
|
|
|
o) It is the patients’ responsibility to manage their chronic condition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
p) Most practices cannot afford health information technologies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
q) The PCMH pilot projects showed that this model of healthcare delivery improved health outcomes of patients and reduced cost.
|
|
|
|
|
|
r) The PCMH model of healthcare delivery will make the life of primary care physicians worse.
|
|
|
|
|
|
s) Reimbursement of clinician services should be linked to patients’ health outcomes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
t) PCMH is a good healthcare delivery system.
