The primary care physicians work along with a healthcare team of nurses, which provides patient centered care for the patients at lower costs. On the other hand, the nurses have stated that this causes more money to have the nurses present.
One example of the use of the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) is through United Healthcare. United Healthcare “will provide the selected primary-care practices with technology, infrastructure support, care coordination, with the goal of leveraging improved information systems to enhance patient access to care, the quality and safety of the care experience, and patient satisfaction with health care providers” (Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative,
