The Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative (PCPCC) is a coalition of more than 1,000 organizations and individuals — employers, consumer and patient/family advocacy groups, patient quality organizations, health plans, labor unions, hospitals, physicians and other health professionals — that works to develop and advance an effective and efficient health system built on a strong foundation of primary care and the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model, an approach to providing comprehensive care for children, youth, and adults.〔 〕 The Collaborative is dedicated to advancing team-based, comprehensive primary care in parternship with patients and their families and serves as a broad-based national advocacy organization for the primary care patient centered medical home, providing information and networking opportunities to facilitate support for the PCMH. They are headquartered in downtown Washington, D.C. ==History== The Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative was created in late 2006, when several large national employers came together with the four major U.S. primary care physician associations in order to: #Advance an effective and efficient health system built on a strong foundation of primary care and the patient-centered medical home #Facilitate improvements in patient-physician relations #Create a more effective and efficient model of healthcare delivery To achieve these goals, the PCPCC has created an open forum where healthcare stakeholders freely communicate and work together to improve the future of the American medical system. The Collaborative has developed model language for inclusion in health reform proposals to include the PCMH concept. It also acts as a key source for the continued education of congressional representatives, the federal and state governments, and individual practices on the PCHM model as a superior form of healthcare delivery. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Patient Centered Primary Care Collaborative」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
