Quote attributable to Melanie Matthews, HIN executive VP and COO:

"Much of the healthcare industry is hoping that the establishment of medical homes will help reframe primary care in the United States. The success or failure of a medical home relies heavily on the patient-physician relationship. This central component is key in ensuring quality and cost outcomes as well as in maintaining healthy lifestyles and coordinating preventive and ongoing health services."
