The Assuring Better Child Health and Development (ABCD) initiative is currently helping five states develop integrated, community-based systems of care coordination for children enrolled in public insurance programs. This grant will support the National Academy for State Health Policy as it wraps up its technical assistance and project guidance for states, synthesizes lessons for a national audience, and promotes the new care coordination models to state and federal policymakers through webinars, conferences, and briefs. With this grant, The Commonwealth Fund concludes its support for ABCD.
Directed by the National Academy for State Health Policy, the current Commonwealth Fund-supported Assuring Better Child Health and Development (ABCD) initiative selected five states through a competitive process to test transformative models of care coordination-a critical component of high-quality, efficient health care. The two previous ABCD projects resulted in states' adoption of developmental screening policies and the incorporation of screening measures into the National Survey of Child Health and the Child Health Insurance Program. The current ABCD initiative is helping Arkansas, Illinois, Minnesota, Oklahoma, and Oregon develop integrated, community-based systems of care coordination for children. In the third year of ABCD, the project team will evaluate the care coordination pilot programs and disseminate findings.
