Patient-centered care is the cornerstone of patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs) and affordable care organizations (ACOs) as presented in the Affordable Care Act (ACA). It also is essential in meeting the Triple Aim of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI): better care for individuals, better health for populations, and lower per capita costs.
