  1. From Solo Family Physician to a Patient-Centered Medical Home Robert L. Smith, MD, MS Finger Lakes Family Care Canandaigua, NY https://www.fingerlakesfamilycare.com http://www.robertsmithmd.com

  2. My Workflow Before Becoming a Medical Home Redundant and inefficient processes Paper charting Inability to search your patient population Increased wait times Staff and patient frustration Dictation delays

  3. Dispelling the myth of the solo physician Solo practice percentage: 1986, 44%. 2008, 18%. All-inclusive nature of the Marcus Welby, MD character is personified by the Medical Home practice model. Solo practice physicians can have a modern lifestyle in the day and age of hospitalist and team based care. Personalized care is the foundation of primary care. Implementation of EMR systems can be done affordably. Availability and access to care is paramount to overall cost saving within health systems.
