Answer to Question 1

The patient-centered medical home model was developed to coordinate care across the continuum. Under this model, the primary care physician serves as a gatekeeper to coordinate the patient's care across providers. The Affordable Care Act calls for using the medical home model and telehealth services to improve health outcomes. Telehealth allows the primary care physician to reach out to a larger community or medically underserved area.

Answer to Question 2

People are living longer, resulting in the need for long-term care or home health services, both of which create new opportunities for health information managers. More care is being rendered in ambulatory care facilities rather than hospitals, creating additional openings for health information managers in ambulatory services. Employment opportunities for health information managers are moving outside traditional hospital settings, reflecting the trends in patient demographics and societal changes.
