Yokosuka Naval Hospital - Medical Home Port Program:

U.S. Naval Hospital Yokosuka recently implemented the Medical Home Port program which introduces a new model of patient and family-centered healthcare delivery for primary care.

The model emphasizes team-based healthcare, with the patient being essential to the team and establishes the provider/patient relationship as paramount.

This leverages other members of the primary care team to also actively participate in patient care.

Since its implementation, it has become necessary to balance the number of patients assigned to each provider based on current availability and scope of medical practice across three primary care clinics -

Family Medicine Clinic

Pediatrics

Internal Medicine Clinic

Because of this, some patients will receive notification of a change of assigned Primary Care Manager and clinic that best suits your medical needs.

Inherent to implementing the new program are challenges to changes that the patients may experience.

These changes are necessary to align patients and providers appropriately and distribute workload to ensure the best possible access to care.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.

Please do not hesitate to contact the Medical Home Port Team Nurse for any questions you may have.

Your Medical Home Port Team is here to serve your healthcare needs.

Are there any contractor jobs open at the Naval Hospital in Yokosuka?
