Abstract: |
The term 'Medical Home' has become increasingly popular in healthcare, yet there continues to be a gap between the concept as a philosophy of care and its implementation into everyday practice. This presentation will briefly review the definition of Medical Home as defined by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and specifically how it applies to families with deaf/hard-of-hearing children. The presentation will focus primarily on case study examples of successful medical home practices of two pediatricians, who are AAP EHDI Chapter Champions. By providing real-world examples of successful Medical Home stories with deaf or heard-of-hearing patients, the presenters aim to give participants a better understanding of how to advocate for and establish Medical Home practices in their own lives. |
