What is an Oncology Medical Home?
The Oncology Medical Home (OMH) model is a guide to identify and implement a comprehensive oncology care delivery system that is focused on quality of care. It is an all-encompassing model meant for patients, care teams, and payers of all types.
Given the unique nature of cancer treatment, an oncology-specific medical home makes perfect sense. When a patient is diagnosed with cancer, treating the disease becomes the primary focus of medical care. This often involves highly specialized and lengthy treatment, such as chemotherapy and radiation.
The OMH model teaches practices how to create a care structure that is integrated along the entire course of treatment and recovery, with measurement in place to provide feedback on all steps of the process.
