  1. Leadership. The practices most successful at implementing a medical home had the benefit of two champions: a practice manager and a physician
  2. Buying in. Practices that were able to disseminate the value of the medical home to the wider team saw greater success over the long-term
  3. Understanding details. To help the wider practice understand the details of the medical home, successful practices encouraged a team member to become a “medical home expert”
  4. Small steps. The concept of “incrementalism” was viewed as a necessary way to begin medical home implementation
  5. Data use. While all practices saw the benefit of data, the most successful practices proved to be active in obtaining and reviewing data, even from external sources like insurers
  6. Clear roles. Practice teams found that clearly defining roles and responsibilities of team members helped in clarifying duties, engaging all members, and standardizing PCMH work
  7. Curiosity. All practices expressed a desire to learn more from their peers
