An online, collaborative network for primary care practice transformation.

Transform to a medical home — with a little help from your friends

We learned from the National Demonstration Project (NDP) that transforming to a patient-centered medical home (PCMH) isn't easy — it actually IS rocket science — and it requires meaningful change throughout all aspects of a practice.

We also learned that medical practices can be lonely places: physicians and staff often feel isolated. What they want and need are opportunities to communicate, collaborate, and learn with other practices in order to maintain the momentum of change.

And lastly, we also learned that some practice leaders have a DIY attitude (Do-It-Yourself). They were not interested in having a consultant or practice coach in the practice; they just wanted useful information, some accountability, and connections with other practices to learn best practices.

TransforMED's Delta-Exchange provides all of that in an online, social networking platform.

"One of the biggest challenges I faced as a solo family physician was gaining access to the experts and resources necessary to transform my practice to a medical home. Delta-Exchange provides the tools I need, when I need them, and is very user-friendly...Delta-Exchange essentially serves as a "toolbox" for building a medical home. The online seminars, forms and templates have proven especially useful in helping me implement new processes."

"The MHIQ test was a great tool to help our practice here in Boise Idaho establish our baseline medical home level. By having a team composed of physicians, a nurse and and an administrator take it together we were able to analyze where we stood and where we needed to go. It provided us a road map of what we needed to do. We took the results and made a grid in all 9 of the domains of what we had mastered and what we needed to accomplish to get to a NCQA Level III medical home."

"The work we've done as part of the TransforMED, and now Touchstone project has paid off with stronger staff and teamwork, better workflow, better vision of where we want to go. Today, we talked with our facilitator for a few minutes and came up with some simple things to do to help improve our use of IMH, for example. It is generally very practical-- what any office would want to do. It's not that esoteric-- just common sense stuff with a slant toward using technology and workflow well. We all want to provide a patient-centered medical home-- good access, good coordination and communication, efficient, with focus on quality..."
