Training, technical assistance and resources will be provided to support Medical Home implementation with a focus in the areas of early identification of developmental concerns in the primary care practice and coordination of care and services including those for youth with special health care needs.
Collaboration is a fundamental component of this initiative, with partnerships identified with the ABC for Health, Birth to Three, Family Voices, health professional organizations, Regional Centers for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN), the Wisconsin Academy of Family Physicians and the Wisconsin Chapter of American Academy Pediatrics.
