The Health Care Homes model that has been recommended to the federal government by the Primary Health Care Advisory Group (PHCAG) has the support of both the primary care sector and the general public, according to the final report from the group.

PHCAG was set up in June last year to develop advice to the government on how to reform the primary healthcare system and provide better management of patients with complex and chronic conditions. The remit included looking at new funding models and better use of technology as a vehicle for implementation of the recommended reforms.
