   Six Principles of PCMH
   - Personal physician
   - Whole person orientation
   - Coordination of care across settings
   - Quality & Safety
   - Access

   PCMH 1: Enhance Access and Continuity
   PCMH 2: Identify and Manage Patient Populations
   PCMH 3: Plan and Manage Care
   PCMH 4: Provide Self-Care and Community Support
   PCMH 5: Track and Coordinate Care
   PCMH 6: Measure and Improve Performance

   -  longitudinal relationships with patients (telephone; e- mail; accompany to visit, tweet)   also stroke clinic, Family Medicine, HIV Clinic, CHF Clinic, other longitudinal care venues
   
   Environment concerns and interprofessional working relationships are important aspects of PCMH.
