Dr. McGeeney's CEO Report:
The three-legged stool of PCMH

CEO report 3-legged stool
"There is a great focus nationally on coordination of care. There is also a tremendous amount of money being directed toward Health Information Technology. Those two components while very important are only two legs of the three legged stool on which PCMH and the future of primary care rests. The third leg is comprehensive care."
