NBHC Care Experience
November 27, 2017
During Women's Day at a patient-centered medical home in Nebraska, patients get a manicure along with their routine screenings. It's one of the ways Midwest Regional Health operates as a patient-centered medical home and took steps to do a better job of coordinating care and engaging patients. Among other features it offer are improved access to care and a focus on prevention. Other steps the PCMH is taking to set itself apart include:
- Posting physicians' quality measures that show how patients are doing meeting indicators for diabetes, hypertension, lipids and weight on waiting room walls each month;
- Scheduling mammogram events to ensure patients get screenings;
- Holding one-stop-shop diabetes days for diabetic patients to complete preventive care, including foot and eye checks and developing individualized treatment plans; and
- Launching and leading a healthy living group focused on exercise and diet.
