Medical Home Implementation in Small Primary Care Practices: Provider Perspectives

Conclusions:
Implementation of PCMH program elements can be facilitated in small primary care practices even if third-party certification is not a requirement. Participating providers viewed having an external nurse care coordinator as the key element of the PCMH program. Small practices were receptive to external supports, but a lack of trust was viewed as a barrier to implementing a payer-based medical home program.
