MCHB Webcast on Medical Homes for Children

Tuesday, April 21, 2009
3:00 pmET - 4:00pmET
Location: Webcast

The value of the medical home has long been demonstrated as a model for managing the health care of children with special health care needs.  As the discussion of the medical home has moved to the national landscape, much of the focus has been on the value of the medical home for adults with chronic conditions.  As the medical home concept continues to be piloted and implemented across various settings, it is important to not lose sight of how children uniquely benefit from this concept.  Other presenter's will share the employer perspective on primary care and the medical home, discuss the importance of medical homes to children in foster care and how the Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008 can help promote coordination of care and medical home use, and share lessons learned from state-based, multi-stakeholder medical home efforts.
