Association of the Implementation of the Patient-Centered Medical Home with Quality of Life in Patients with Multimorbidity

The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) has clinical benefits for chronic disease care, but the association with patient-reported outcomes such as health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is unexplored in patients with multimorbidity (two or more chronic diseases). The aim o this study was to examine if greater clinic-level PCMH implementation was associated with higher HRQoL in multimorbid adults.
