What is an "Ideal Medical Practice?"
The Ideal Medical Practices' new model of health care uses the ideals of low overhead, lower volume, efficiency in office management, and accountability for outcomes of patient care. This innovative group of physicians is currently working on providing real numbers that show the cost savings and improvement in overall chronic care when practices uphold this model of care.
Taken from the home page of Ideal Medical Home, an Ideal Medical Practice is "…a confederation of organizations,
technologies, and individuals devoted to real-world, real-time improvement of clinical office practice that is:
-
Enjoyable and financially viable
-
Truly patient-centered
-
Sustainable
We call practices that attain these objectives, Ideal Medical Practices."
Financially viable and personally sustainable practices that are satisfying to both physician and patient are the only hope for the future of primary care. Dr. Lewis firmly believes that having a robust, viable primary care system in the United States is the only hope for decreasing health care costs and providing all citizens with basic health care services.
