Abstract
In light of calls for a new model of care, family physicians are endeavoring to create a Patient-centered Medical Home. Yet, structures of care in themselves do not make a home; for the medical house to be a home requires physicians to demonstrate a personal touch that communicates caring to the patient. This essay describes one easily accomplished method by which to integrate personal care in a Patient-centered Medical Home.
