A. The cost for chronic care is reduced
B. Electronic medical records are essential
C. Patients are responsible for access to care
D. The team of providers changes as the health care needs differ.

Answer 1

A PCMH is a healthcare model in which the team of providers remains consistent over time except when health care needs differ.

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the statements about patient centered medical homes (PCMH) are true EXCEPT that the team of providers changes as the health care needs differ. In a PCMH, patients have a designated primary care provider who leads a team of healthcare professionals responsible for coordinating their care. This team remains consistent over time to ensure continuity of care and build a strong patient-provider relationship. So, statement D is false.
