Take Action on Care Coordination
Effective care coordination ranks high on the priority list of families of children with special health care needs, yet it remains an elusive goal for most. This webinar featured a parent's perspective, along with real-life examples from a provider and a payer on how to develop effective local care coordination systems. The webinar was designed as a first step in building a national movement to promote care coordination policies and payment options that better serve children, families, and care providers.
The discussion was based on the report, The Care Coordination Conundrum and Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs.
