Children with health complexity face unique medical and social factors that impact their health and engagement of health care services. Health systems play an important role in addressing both factors to build health and resilience.

During this webinar, speakers shared their approach to using system and practice-level data to better identify appropriate care coordination and health management supports for these children. The discussion also featured how this approach was implemented in Kaiser Permanente Northwest through the Pediatric Care TogetherTM complex health management program. 

Prior to the webinar, the audience read the report, Identifying and Serving Children with Health Complexity: Spotlight of Efforts to Develop and Pilot the Kaiser Permanente Northwest Pediatric Care TogetherTM Program.
