Medical Home Data Portal

The Data Resource Center—funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, Health Resources and Services Administration—partnered with the American Academy of Pediatrics to create this page to allow state and family leaders quick access to data on how children and youth in each state experience receiving care within a medical home.

The Medical Home Data Portal presents state-by-state summaries and across-state comparisons on children's access to a medical home using standardized data from the National Survey of Children's Health and National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs.

The medical home measure includes an assessment of whether children and youth:

  • Have a personal doctor or nurse
  • Have a usual source of care
  • Receive care that is family-centered
  • Receive care that is culturally-sensitive
  • Obtain needed specialty care referrals
  • Receive needed help coordinating care across mutliple providers and types of services
