Decision support system in a Patient-Centered Medical Home

Patient-Centered Medical Home is a care delivery model to transform how primary care is delivered in the United States. The information technology revolution has brought about several advancements and solutions for medicine and care delivery, and medical homes are no exception to this. Traditionally, such information technology solutions tend to be isolated in development and fragmented in implementation. However, it is only through a robust decision support system that these medical homes can in fact provide truly coordinated and patient-centered care. The paper describes preliminary work that has been completed at the University of Missouri Health System and next steps in achieving high quality care delivery through a decision support system implementation.
