Lamprey Health Care has always focused on the core principles of the Medical Home model of care , and we were one of the first health care organizations in New England to implement the electronic health record.

The Medical Home Model of Care

Lamprey Health Care - Your Medical Home

Lamprey Health Care was nationally recognized as a patient-centered medical home for its excellence in patient services, use of best practices, and integration of health information technologies.  As a Medical Home, Lamprey Health Care continuously strives for clinical excellence by:

  • putting each patient and their health care at the center
  • providing 24/7 access to health care services through on-site medical appointments and after-hours nursing triage
  • using health information technologies, such as electronic health records (EHRs)
  • practice-wide quality measurement and improvement efforts
  • screening, referrals and follow-up for at-risk patients
  • and structured care for patients with chronic conditions

Patient-Centered Delivery of Care

The Medical Home Model of Care focuses on the patient - coordinating individual patient care throughout the entire medical team and enhancing the patient-provider relationship to improve health outcomes. 

A concept already in practice at Lamprey Health Care, this patient-centered delivery of care enables the providers to focus on individual patient needs, proactively treating chronic illnesses and influencing healthier behaviors for better health management. 

Lamprey Health Care has always focused on these core principles of care, and we were one of the first health care organizations in New England to implement the electronic health record.   The Citizens Health Initiative Medical Home Pilot Program is taking our historical leadership to a new level – by improving quality of care and customer service with each patient at the very center.
