Health complexity is a concept that considers both a child’s medical and social complexity. For health systems, identifying and supporting children with health complexity directly aligns with efforts to eliminate health disparities.

Presenters shared real world examples and recommendations based on technical assistance provided to State Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) agencies and health systems over the last five years. Additionally, a panel of health system leaders who have received technical assistance shared their reflections and learnings.
