Patient Centered Medical Home…

…began in 1874 Osteopathic Medicine: AOA 1998

“A complete system of medical care with a philosophy that combines the needs of the patient with the current practice of medicine, surgery and obstetrics; that emphasizes the interrelationship between structure and function; and that has an appreciation of the body’s ability to heal itself”

“Order and health are inseparable…the object of the physician is to find health, anyone can find disease.” -A.T. Still, 1899

Osteopathic Principles and PCMH

The body is a unit; the person is a unit of body, mind and spirit.

The body is capable of self-regulation, self-healing and health maintenance.

Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated.

Rational treatment is based upon the understanding of the basic principles of body unity, self-regulation, and interrelationship of structure and function.
