Coordinated Delivery Approaches
Coordinated delivery approaches, including Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMH) and Accountable Care Organizations, are undoubtedly improving healthcare delivery to patients. Unlike in the early stages, when critics were skeptical about it, the idea has received massive support with continuous research meant to improve it at every step. It has been termed as the main reinvigorate US primary care policy.
The collaboration between the individual patients and the multidisciplinary treatment team provides a distinctive clear orientation towards healthcare (Roche and Wyatt 138). The team is directed towards delivering personalized healthcare meeting the patient’s demands while minimalizing the costs associated with quality care. Through this, there is constant monitoring assessment and tracking of the progress. Thus, the critical milestones are achieved; otherwise, the whole procedure is relooked at and finetuned. The coordinated delivery approaches are professionally and strategically structured to ensure the associated costs are minimized. Simultaneously, the quality of the care is never compromised at any stage of health delivery (Liao et al. 147).
Further, the professionals involved are determined to eliminate the unnecessary utilization of ED. Further, patient visits, inpatient hospitalization, and hospital readmissions are kept in check hence convenience in healthcare. Through this, care for patients is continually improving.
To ensure the coordinated delivery approaches are regulated and practiced within strict conformity to the rule of law, ACA provides several stipulations that support PCMH and ACO in primary care and development. Therefore, notwithstanding the formality of the coordinated delivery approaches, the rights, duties, and responsibilities owed to the patients are upheld (Roche and Wyatt 138). It ensures patients receive timely and appropriate care. It eliminates instances of service duplications, emergencies, and duplications. In conclusion, coordinated delivery approaches will improve care for patients.
