PCMH Research Methods Series

The Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Research Methods Series, funded by AHRQ, is designed to expand awareness of methods to evaluate and refine PCMH models and other health care interventions.

These novel and underused methods can be used by evaluators and implementers to better assess and refine PCMH models and to meet the evidence needs of PCMH stakeholders more effectively. Each of the briefs describes a PCMH method, outlines its advantages and limitations, and provides resources for researchers to learn more about the method. This series was developed with input from nationally recognized leaders in research methods and PCMH models.
