A PCMH can significantly improve the health outcomes for pediatric patients in several ways:
Enhanced Preventive Care: Regular check-ups, vaccinations, and screenings help in early detection and prevention of diseases. Better Chronic Disease Management: Children with chronic conditions like asthma or diabetes receive coordinated care, reducing hospitalizations and improving quality of life. Improved Family Engagement: Families are actively involved in the care process, making informed decisions about their child's health. Increased Access to Care: Flexible scheduling and multiple communication channels ensure that children get the care they need when they need it.
