Purpose
In spite of widespread recognition of the importance and benefits of care coordination, many states report challenges around implementing care coordination that fully and effectively meets the needs of children with special health care needs and their families. National Care Coordination Standards, developed by NASHP with previous funding from the Foundation, have been completed and will be released in early fall of 2020. This grant funding will support dissemination and implementation of the Care Coordination Standards, as well as the National Standards for CYSHCN, by enabling NASHP to provide technical assistance, quality measurement and financing resources, and support to state Medicaid agencies, state Title V CYSHCN programs, health plans, families of CYSHCN, and others.
