The Army Medical Home is designed around one core principle: putting patients first. The Army Medical Home is Army Medicine's gateway to influence the "life space" where patients make decisions on the key determinants of health and wellness-sleep, activity, and nutrition (that is, the Performance Triad). Each patient will partner with a team of health care providers – physicians, nurses, behavioral health, clinical pharmacists, physical therapy, and case management professionals – to develop a comprehensive, personal health care plan. This team will form a partnership with you to provide improved access, coordinate needed services, answer your questions, and ensure you get the care you need. Your Medical Home team will remain the same as long as they continue to work within your medical home. This will improve your continuity of care and allow you to develop a closer partnership with your team. The Army Medical Home model has been shown to improve patients' overall health, resulting in fewer emergency and urgent care visits, decreased hospital admissions, shorter inpatient stays, and fewer inpatient readmissions among other positive results. At Madigan you will practice alongside civilian and military health care experts and experience unique professional opportunties.
