UPDATE
9/23/2014
Progress Toward Original Goals Through the activities of the grant, and input from our partners, the
needs of children with CSHCN & their families are much clearer. Using our governance plan, which includes our Roundtable
meetings, our 7 Cs coalition meetings, and an Early Childhood Leadership Alliance, we have established and strengthened a structure that will implement major changes to our system.
While we didn’t hire a care coordinator, our pilot of re-launched Roundtable meetings has been longer than 3 months as we continue to facilitate the changes to our system.
We were able to apply for, and receive, grant funds from Kaiser to sustain our work moving forward. We will continue to identify additional sources of sustaining funds.
Products Developed During Project
Consent form for Roundtable Meetings Sign-in sheet for Roundtable that is also a
statement of confidentiality Resource List – for both providers, agencies and
families.
Key Components That Could Be Replicated Our 7 Cs monthly coalition meeting. It has been important to
bring agency personnel together to discuss and plan for changes to our system.
Contra Costa Roundtable meetings, where agency staff bring newer referrals and high acuity cases to review and coordinate with other agencies who also care for the child.
Our Early Childhood Leadership Alliance, where systems issues will be referred and resolved by agency decision-makers.
Next Steps for 7 Cs Leadership Team created to share responsibilities
across more partners, support re-launched Roundtable meetings, continue partner development and track our data & evaluation efforts.
Continue monthly coalition meetings. There is value in meeting, especially without a care coordinator
Wait to hear on our application for Phase 2 funds from LPFCH!

Long term goals and objectives
• The long term outcome of this project is to enhance the existing SMART Model of Care by adding a child specific problem solving team within the One Call for Kids/Help me Grow system to include complex care needs of children and to address complicated interagency issues that compromise the ability of children with special health care needs to receive the support and care they require.
• To provide outreach and information regarding care coordination to hospital discharge planning/care coordination staff, NICU discharge staff, private pediatricians, and Federally Qualified Health Clinics.
• To establish an active interdisciplinary, multi-agency team to receive referrals and coordinate the care of Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) at regularly scheduled monthly meetings.

What we might shareLessons learned
• What we have learned from our county’s successful community wide model known as the SMART Model of Care
• What we have learned being an integral part of EPU and benefitting from its long history of collaborative relationships around young children with a wide range of special needs and the leadership provided by the agency in creating and promoting early and comprehensive care for vulnerable children and families.
• How to integrate/implement Care Coordination into already existing services.
• The benefit of parent representation and involvement.• We are happy to share any of the supporting documents we
have developed. (no need to reinvent the wheel)
9/23/2014
Next Steps

IHSS)• Involve more parent representation and involvement• Continue to update resources and provide
educational presentations to the CC Team• Continue to grow our collaboration with partners

Slide 1 – Kern County MVCCP Replication Progress – Challenges and Solutions
MVCCP Replication Process among Three California Counties• MVCCP implemented a “first come, first served” approach, to mitigate
possible barriers to success, by engaging with early adopter counties.• Three counties – Contra Costa, Monterey, and Orange – have been actively
engaged and building their local collaboratives.
Early Challenges and Solutions• Each county understood how big an undertaking it was to take on care
coordination for CSHCN. Budgetary constraints from local, state and federal funding sources could affect the level of commitment from their partners.
• Each county was aware of, and sensitive to, the political and historical dynamics that differentiated each county in the implementation process.
• Each county has developed a local governance plan to reflect the collaborative nature of their initiative, providing accountability and transparency to its work, and resulting in an inclusive decision-making process to achieve optimum, long term results among diverse partners.

Slide 3 – MVCCP Replication Models and Best PracticesA. MVCCP Replication Products in Slide 2B. Lessons Learned1. System Level - State Policies Impact Us All 2. County Level - We are much stronger working together.3. Program Level –
• Refer, refer, refer – don’t assume anything about program eligibility!• Early intervention is critical - If not clear on the whole course of
treatment, start with an interim plan and build on “baby steps”.• Partners’ relationships streamline and expedite referrals across
systems; overall functioning and understanding is enhanced of key contact persons, partner roles, eligibility criteria, referral processes, expected timeframes, and available funding/insurance.
• Staff roles are essential to sustain the Collaborative over time - Care Coordinator and Staff responsibilities complement each other to: convene regular schedule of informational and case review meetings; receive, track, and evaluate case results; leverage funds; perform outreach to new partners; and maintain clear vision.9/23/2014
