Health Systems Strategies that Prioritize Children with Health Complexity
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. This webinar described how health systems can identify children with health complexity and provided actionable strategies and models to use this information to improve services and supports for families. 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.
Attendees were asked to read the Health Systems Strategies to Ensure a Focus on Children with Health Complexity brief prior to the webinar.
