Association Between the Medical Home Model of Care and Demographic Characteristics in US Children.
Clinical Pediatrics 2018 November 19
Given the medical home model of care's (MHMOC) potential to reduce disparities in health care, this study determined the relationship between MHMOC, MHMOC indicators, and (1) demographic characteristics and (2) health outcomes in US children. Caregivers (n = 50 212) of children 0 to 17 years completed the 2016 National Survey of Children's Health. The MHMOC measure comprised 5 indicators (e.g., having a personal doctor/nurse and receiving family-centered care). Bivariate and multiple logistic regressions assessed the relationships between MHMOC, MHMOC indicators, and (1) demographic characteristics and (2) health outcomes. Approximately 49% of the children were served in a MHMOC. MHMOC and MHMOC indicators were related to race, ethnicity, nativity, caregiver education, federal poverty level, insurance type, and predicted health outcomes. These findings suggest that children most in need of MHMOC are less likely to be served in them. Thus, the current distribution of MHMOC likely contributes to greater disparities in care.
