Systems of Care for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs
The Healthy People Goal for children with special health care needs (16:23) is to increase the proportion of States and territories that have service systems for CSHCN. in order to meet this goals, states and their communities must develop and maintain a family-centered, culturally competent system of care that involves:1) family/professional partnership; 2) comprehensive health care through a medical home; 3) improved access to adequate health insurance/ financing; 4) early and continuous screening; 5) organization of community services for easy use by families; and 6) transition of youth to adult health care, work, and independence. This purpose of this poster session is to inform partcipants about the strategies and mechanisms states and communities have used to identify, address and measure key issues and barriers related to systems development for CSHCN. More specifically, posters will be presented on health care needs of children in a domestic violence shelter; chronic mental and physical conditiojns among Aftican-American and Latino children in urban public housing; use of electronic child health profiles; mental health needs of CSHCN and their parents; impact on CSHCN of involuntary health plan switching; blending of birth defects and MCH surveillance systems; and the role of nurses in providing community-based care coordinationto CSHCN.
