The Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) is our standard of healthcare.
A Patient Centered Medical and Dental Home is a team-based health care delivery model led by a health care provider to provide comprehensive, evidence based, and continuous medical care to patients with a goal to obtain maximal health outcomes. This model intends to provide better access to health care, increase satisfaction with care, and improve health.
The spirit of the Patient Centered Medical Home establishes accountability by clarifying who is responsible for each aspect of a patient’s overall care. This includes specifying who is primarily responsible for key care delivery activities, the extent of that responsibility, and when that responsibility will be transferred to other care participants. The patient or family also has accountability through maintaining appointments as care planned and in partnership with the provider and keeping the clinic notified in advance to cancelations.
If it’s after 5:00pm and you need information or guidance from your provider – we can help! We have Open Access Walk-In clinics located in Dover-Foxcroft and Houlton, offering later hours and weekend hours (Houlton only). If our Open Access office is closed, don’t worry! You can reach one of our On-Call providers after hours by dialing our normal office number and selecting the appropriate menu option.
In addition to your provider’s nurse, during normal work hours we have nursing staff as our Care Manager. Our Care Manager assists in the coordination of your care by working with you and your provider regarding any issues or needs you have between scheduled appointments. They work to provide you prompt responses to your concerns.
