RMS USES THE PATIENT CENTERED MEDICAL HOME (PCMH) MODEL What is a Patient Centered Medical Home? A “patient centered medical home” is a medical office/clinic where a team of health care professionals works together to provide evidence-based care for each patient. Rural Medical Services, Inc. provides primary care for the people of Cocke, Jefferson and surrounding counties in Tennessee. Our Family Practice physicians and Nurse Practitioners are board certified and trained as specialists in evidence-based care. RMS also offers behavioral health services to all patients. Behavioral Health Providers are located on-site at three locations to help in a whole person, patient-centered approach. Our patient-centered approach offers the combination of a traditional style family doctor assisted by a team of medical professionals with up to date technology, including a patient portal where patients can communicate with their physician/care team and check lab results via the internet.
