Center for Medical Home Improvement (CMHI)
CMHI seeks and uses local and national resources to build and spread awareness of the medical home model of primary care, develop supports for primary care practices to improve their "medical homeness," use tools and guidance to coach and provide technical assistance for individual practices to entire networks, and seek to align state and national efforts towards a comprehensive investment in the future of primary care.

Medical Home Index
The Medical Home Index (MHI) is a validated self-assessment and classification tool designed to translate the broad indicators defining the medical home (accessible, family-centered, comprehensive, coordinated, etc.) into observable, tangible behaviors and processes of care within any office setting. It is a way of measuring and quantifying the "medical homeness" of a primary care practice. (Source: CMHI)
