What is a Medical Home?
The medical home is an ongoing source of routine health care that: provides preventive, primary, and acute care, is coordinated with other aspects of health
and medical care such as subspecialty care, is coordinated with other community services
such as audiology and early intervention, and supports inclusion and full participation for
the child and family in the community.

Why Medical Home? More than 300 inherited syndromes
involve hearing loss, Otitis media accounts for 24.5 million
visits to doctor’ offices, and is the most frequent reason cited for taking children to the emergency room,
The most intensive period for development of language either spoken or signed is during the first 3 years of life, yet the current age of identification ranges from 14 months - 3 years.

Why Medical Home? The medical home is an essential
player: Screening itself does not result in
improved outcomes for infants and children,
Not every infant will be screened in a hospital, and many are still lost to follow-up,
Many infants neither require nor meet the eligibility requirements for early intervention programs,

Why Medical Home? Many infants will require ongoing
preventive medical assessment and management,
Many children will acquire hearing loss during early childhood,
Primary care is an essential, but often missing partner in assuring that infants with hearing loss receive early and timely intervention.

Why Medical Home? Research supports the concept:
access to an ongoing source of routine health care significantly improves health status (Starfield, 1992),
continuity of care reduces hospitalizations, ER visits, length of hospital stays, missed school days (Christakis,et.al, 2001),
coordinated, comprehensive, accessible, family-centered care is associated with family perceptions of better access to care (Sandler,1999).

MCHB Medical Home Program
The challenge is to provide a true medical home for all….children, including those with special health care needs, in their communities, to supply an ongoing source for continuous, comprehensive, health care”
(Brewer, 1989)
