CA8-03: Evaluating Primary Care Renewal in Oregon’s Safety Net Clinics: Preliminary Quantitative Findings from CareOregon’s Adult Medicaid Population

摘要

Background/AimsThe patient-centered medical home (PCMH) holds great promise for improving care delivery. Primary Care Renewal (PCR) is an initiative, launched in early 2007, to transform Oregon safety-net clinics to the PCMH model of care. It is sponsored by CareOregon (CO), a Medicaid/Medicare managed care organization. The primary objective of this study was to conduct a quantitative assessment to identify utilization and cost metrics relevant to PCR practices and to evaluate PCR’s degree of success in improving these metrics.
