Group visits offer participants a unique and supportive setting.\u00a0 Participants have the opportunity to learn from each other and gain the necessary self-management skills to improve their health.\u00a0 Group visits have shown to improve adherence to care, increase trust in their providers, lower hospitalization rates, and improved quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>The hospital\u2019s hypertension group visits\u00a0consist of\u00a0approximately four to six patients.\u00a0 The groups meet regularly for an extended visit that is led by a physician. Patients have the opportunity to learn about disease management from their physician and from each other.<\/p>\n<p>Patients discuss a range of topics, including nutrition, exercise, and medications. Members are encouraged to engage in a free-flowing dialogue that is facilitated by the doctor.\u00a0 The doctor offers support, education, and counseling.<\/p>\n<p>Although it is a group model, each patient receives individualized care.\u00a0 Each patient has their vital signs monitored, blood work reviewed and medications are altered as needed.<\/p>\n<p>Group medical visits have been incorporated as one of our Patient Centered Medical Home PCMH initiatives.\u00a0 PCMH is a new model of care that focuses on delivering high-quality, well-coordinated primary care.\u00a0 It also emphasizes the importance of self-care in the management of chronic disease.\u00a0 Jamaica Hospital has achieved PCMH designation at several off-site care centers.<\/p>\n<p>Jamaica Hospital is proud to be a pioneer in the evolution of healthcare and invites members of the community to experience the many benefits of group care.
