TransforMED to Offer New "Medical Home IQ" Online Self-Assessment

02/29/2008

Have you found yourself asking any of these questions lately?

• Where does my practice align with the medical home model?
• What areas of the medical home model do I need to work on to improve my practice performance?
• How do I take my practice from where it is today to where I want it to be — a true medical home?

If these are the kinds of questions you are asking yourself, TransforMED is developing a tool just for you: The TransforMED Medical Home IQ, also known as the MHIQ.

Organized around the TransforMED Medical Home Model, the MHIQ is an online self-assessment tool that you can use to learn more about the medical home and how your practice measures up in delivering the many integrated facets of the medical home to your patients.

Stay tuned. The first version of the MHIQ will be launched in mid-April. Go to www.transformed.com to find out more about the MHIQ and the TransforMED Medical Home Model.
