Descriptions
The practice identifies the clinician lead and the transformation manager (the person leading the PCMH transformation). This may be the same person. The practice provides details including the person's name, credentials and roles/responsibilities. PCMH transformation is successful when there is support from a clinician lead. Their support sets the tone for how the practice will function as a medical home. The intent is to ensure that the practice has clinician and leadership support to implement the PCMH model and to acknowledge the role of staff in the practice's everyday operations.
