About Us
 
 
Mission
The mission of the National Center for Medical Home Implementation is to work in cooperation with federal agencies, particularly the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB), and other partners and stakeholders to ensure that all children, including children with special needs, have access to a medical home.
The National Center provides medical home resources, technical assistance and support to physicians, families, and other medical and non-medical providers who care for children.
Goal
The overarching goal of the National Center is to ensure that all children and youth, including children with special needs, have a medical home where health care services are accessible, family-centered, continuous, comprehensive, coordinated, compassionate, and culturally-competent.
The National Center works to ensure that all children and youth have access to a medical home by:
- Enhancing policies and operational standards through partnerships at the national level that guide implementation of the medical home.
- Providing resources and tools that increase implementation of the medical home at the practice level.
- Enhancing the collaboration for medical home system change at the state and community levels.
- Leveraging the AAP structure—chapters, committees, councils, and sections—to further maximize medical home implementation at all levels from local to national.
Through the National Center, physicians, parents, administrators, and other health care professionals have access to educational, resource, and advocacy materials, guidelines for care, evaluation tools, and technical assistance.
