IHC provider is featured in video series about medical home model

Dr. Tim Geleske of North Arlington Pediatrics is featured in three of the 41 videos the National Center for Medical Home Implementation (NCMHI) recently posted to its YouTube channel. Dr. Geleske and his partners have provided medical homes to Illinois Health Connect clients since 2006.

The NCMHI interviews with thought leaders and medical home advocates describe their ideas about the medical home concept of care and how to implement it into practice. The recent postings are the third in a series that are designed to provide an in depth view of the essential components that make up the medical home.

The third set of interviews includes topics based on the medical home toolkit: care partnership support, care delivery management, practice performance measurement, resources & linkages, payment & finance, and general medical home.

Dr. Geleske provides commentary on a care coordination success story, on how having a care coordinator has enhanced the medical home at his practice and on how providers can make patients and their families feel comfortable when receiving care.
