An evaluation of a multipayer patient-centered medical home initiative involving 15 physician practices and 98,000 patients in Colorado found sustained reductions in hospital admissions and emergency department (ED) use over three years, though quality-of-care results were mixed. The researchers, which included Harvard University’s Meredith Rosenthal and The Commonwealth Fund’s Eric Schneider, M.D, published their findings in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.
