Abstract

Graduate Health Information Management students can and should be involved in collaborations with the Patient-Centered Medical Home at primary care clinics. In this case, the student is not from a Health Services Management background as it was in the first internship article, but rather from a Health Information Management background. This case study is the second of 2 Patient-Centered Medical Home internship studies where the value of an intern to a practice manager is demonstrated.
