Practice Transformation Toolkit

The PCPCC has gathered and organized a collection of information and resources to assist you with transformation into patient centered medical homes.  These pages are organized by processes utilized during practice transformation and contain practical information and tools to help health professionals provide medical homes for their patient popuations.  Although these pages are primarily targeted towards the medical home care team (clinical and non-clinical), many of these resources may also be useful to patient/consumer organizations, communities, and states.
