The PCMH is a model of practice in which a team of health professionals, guided by a primary care provider, provides continuous, comprehensive, and coordinated care in a culturally and linguistically sensitive manner to patients throughout their lives. The PCMH provides for all of a patient’s health care needs, or collaborates with other qualified professionals to meet those needs. Participating practices will provide patient centered care through:

  • evidence-based medicine;
  • expanded access and communication;
  • care coordination and integration; and,
  • care quality and safety.

Lt. Governor's Message


As Chair of the Maryland Health Quality and Cost Council and the Co-Chair of the Governor’s Health Reform Coordinating Council, I am working with our State government, local government, academic, non-profit, and private partners to implement state-level health care reforms such as the Patient Centered Medical Home Program, an innovative initiative aimed at improving health care quality and reducing health care costs for all Marylanders.

The Maryland Medical Home Program, established during the 2010 legislative session, is designed to improve patient health and elevate the role of the primary care provider in our health system. Medical Homes provide primary care physicians and nurse practitioners with financial incentives and technical assistance to expand access to high-quality primary care, promote wellness and prevention, advance care by using multi-disciplinary teams, and coordinate care to improve disease management and the overall health of patients.

Over the next nine months approximately 50 practices will enroll over 200,000 Marylanders in this important primary care program which holds much promise for addressing some of our greatest health care challenges. By establishing a Patient Centered Medical Home Program, we will begin to change how health care is delivered by focusing on the whole patient and improving access for the healthy and the chronically ill. This program is a critical piece in making Maryland one of the healthiest states in the nation.
