Care is complex.
The explanation shouldn't be.

Medical Home News examines how primary care is organised: the patient-centred medical home, continuity and coordination, practice processes, and the people who make those processes work.

The articles are for readers who want a clearer understanding of care delivery. The focus is the organisation of care, rather than diagnosis, treatment instructions or individual clinical advice.

Sources before claims

Explanations link to the official material they draw on, including public health agencies and primary care resources. Publication dates belong to the articles; source dates may be earlier. An established framework is not presented as a newly released discovery.

Editorial examples and discussion exercises are labelled. They do not imply clinical validation, a professional qualification, a certification or an endorsement by the organisations cited. Numerical claims need a stated source and context.

Keep the setting in view

Models developed in one country may be useful to discuss elsewhere, but professional responsibilities, payment arrangements, training and service access differ. Each article should make that distinction clear rather than presenting a universal operating rule.
