Ohio HB 198 Patient-Centered Medical Home Education Pilot Project Final Work Product Report
In June 2010, Ohio House Bill 198 established the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Education Pilot Project enabling 44 primary care practices educationally affiliated with four medical schools and five nursing schools to design and implement the PCMH model of care in their practices. This bill additionally addresses curriculum reform in the PCMH model at the medical school, nursing school and primary care residency levels; and designs a primary care scholarship process to be used at the medical school and advance practice nurse (APN) training levels for students destined for future primary care practices in Ohio.
The purpose of this broad effort is to correct the current and anticipated future shortage of primary care providers in Ohio by addressing the cost of training incurred by primary care providers, the primary care curriculum in the training environment of our nursing and medical schools, and the primary care office practice environment in which our trainees and graduates first experience the PCMH model of care.
