Blueprint for Health
As part of Blueprint for Health (a statewide, public-private initiative authorized by the Vermont legislature), the largely rural St. Johnsbury health service area supports its six patient-centered medical home practices via a multidisciplinary team that provides preventive, chronic disease and mental health care as well as social service support. Team members are based within practices and in the community. The program also provides real-time electronic information to support the provision of appropriate care and offers significant financial incentives that reward practices for becoming recognized as a National Committee for Quality Assurance Patient-Centered Medical Home.
