SC PATIENT CENTERED PRIMARY CARE ALLIANCE
National estimates are that 45% of all family physicians practice in a Patient-Centered Medical Home (Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative, 2017).
About
South Carolina’s SC Patient Centered Primary Care Alliance is a collaborative effort of:
- BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina
- BlueChoice HealthPlan
- The South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services
- The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control
- The South Carolina Medical Association
- The South Carolina Primary Health Care Association
- The South Carolina Office of Rural Health
The Alliance aims to improve the health and patient experience by implementing the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model statewide. This team-based approach led by a primary care physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant reinforces and rewards coordination between primary care and other practitioners to provide and monitor patient care. It engages patients in their own care and treatment and is supported financially by insurance companies.
