REDSTONE HEALTH CENTER
February 27th students visited with Pati Colvin, Clinic Manager of the Redstone Health Center in Park City, Utah.
The Redstone Health Center is one of relatively few 'patient-centered medical homes' across the United States. As a result, visitors from all over come to learn how this center is dramatically improving comprehensive primary care.
A Patient-Centered Medical Home is an approach to providing comprehensive primary care for children, youth, and adults. It is a health care setting that facilitates partnerships between individual patients, and their personal physicians, and when appropriate, the patient's family. Principles that describe the PCMH are the following: personal physician, physician directed medical practice, whole person orientation, coordinated/integrated care, quality and safety, enhanced access, and payment reform.
*Afterwards students hung out with MHA Program Director Debbie Scammon, her husband, horses, cats, and dogs at her breathtaking Park City getaway home.
