- Authors
Rittenhouse, Diane R.; Schmidt, Laura; Wu, Kevin; Wiley, James
- Abstract
The article discusses research which aims to compare patterns of change toward patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs) in five primary care safety net clinics in New Orleans, Louisiana in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The study reveals several barriers to practice change including high demand for services, lack of staff resources, and deficient linkages between hospital and specialty care. It indicates the success of the PCMH model in addressing the needs of safety net populations.
