Your Medical Home
The UD Nurse Managed Primary Care Team is constantly working to improve the quality and experience of care provided to our patients. We are currently undergoing a long-term, comprehensive quality improvement effort aimed at achieving national recognition as a Patient-Centered Medical Home. A Medical Home is not a building, place, or hospital. Rather, it is an approach to providing comprehensive, personal healthcare.
As a Medical Home, our goals are to:
- Put you and your family at the center of your care
- Communicate clearly and listen attentively to your questions, concerns and priorities
- Help you manage short-term issues, long-term chronic illnesses, and help you achieve a healthy lifestyle and overall wellbeing
- Provide care for you that takes into account not only your physical health care needs, but your behavioral and mental health care needs as well
- Keep you up-to-date on vaccines and preventive care
- Notify you of test results in a timely manner
- Help you to coordinate your care across all settings, including behavioral and mental health services
- Give you information on community resources and other services to support your physical, social, emotional, and mental health
As a patient in our Medical Home, we ask that you please:
- Be an active participant in your health care
- Keep us up-to-date on new prescriptions or over-the-counter medications you are taking
- Let us know when you see other healthcare providers so we can help coordinate your care; when you transfer to our practice as a new patient, or when you see a specialist for care, please ask you other providers’ offices to fax your medical records or a summary of your care to us. Our fax # is 302-831-3193.
- Ask questions if you do not understand something
- Keep scheduled appointments or call to reschedule as early as possible
- Bring your insurance card and photo ID to each appointment
- Pay co-pays and past due balances at the time of service
