Join us this week to discuss the medical home model, a practice of care that is patient-centered, comprehensive, team-based, coordinated, accessible, and focused on quality and safety, and how this model can be used to provide comprehensive pediatric primary care.

El tema es: Estrategias para la inclusión del Hogar Médico de un Niño en el Sistema de Cuidado.

Esta semana discutiremos el modelo del hogar médico, una práctica de la atención que es centrada en el paciente, comprensiva, basada en el equipo, coordinada, accesible, y se centra en la calidad y la seguridad, y en cómo se puede utilizar este modelo para proporcionar una atención primaria pediátrica integral. Juntos, identificaremos estrategias para apoyar la comunicación bidireccional entre las fuentes de referencia pediátrica y el hogar médico.
