Top 10 Proactive Vision for Pediatric Quality(Bold are Bright Futures related)
ACCESS: Family able to identify a Primary Care Provider. Is there a role for our partners to help us measure access?
SCHOOL READINESS: Be ready for school upon entry to kindergarten. What are the intermediate steps we can measure? Reach Out and Read? Positive Parenting Trainings? Referrals to other services?
DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENING: Screened for developmental delays*, screening for autism, screening for social-environmental factors impacting health, screening for strengths?
ORAL HEALTH: Linked to a dental home and receiving basic oral health services *
WELL CHILD CARE: Up to date in receiving quality pediatric well child care and immunizations, content appropriate to needs of our patients (breastfeeding, smoke exposure)*
OBESITY: Preventive guidance given, pt. screened, evaluated and if indicated treated for obesity*
MENTAL HEALTH: Screened for mental health conditions including substance abuse, domestic violence and family mental illness*
MENTAL HEALTH: Receive mental health services when indicated. Involved in preventive services when present
SPECIAL HEALTH CARE NEEDS: With Special Health Care Needs will have their care coordinated*
ASTHMA: Children with Asthma will be managed effectively and control maximized*
Outcomes: Proactive Pediatric Ambulatory Care Quality Vision
Important Role for Medicaid
• Recent Focus• Transition from federal CHIPRA grant to state funded QI initiative with core
funding (Similar to TN)• Enables us to work on issues that Medicaid and state’s pediatricians find
important, rather than issues with funding• SC Medicaid priorities: Asthma, Well Child Care completion rates, ADHD • TN focus: Asthma, behavioral health, smoke exposure, breast feeding
• 2016 Bright Futures work• Shift from well child visit completion rates to a QI effort focused on the
content of the visit• Partnering with AAP, Georgia, Virginia and New Jersey in this effort
• Next Steps for SC• Collecting data using the American Academy of Pediatrics QIDA system
based on our proactive vision of pediatric ambulatory care• Continuing to work on joint measures with early childhood partners• Continued learning sessions for 30 + practices• Continue our office visits, blog and phone contacts
