An Overview
The case management workgroup focuses on supporting county
health department case managers, physicians, Children's Medical
Services Program, HMO's and other partners in the coordination
of follow-up care for lead poisoned children. Developing
guidelines, enhancing current referral processes, and assuring
providers and partners are adequately informed of the proper
medical follow-up care are also important activities of this
workgroup.
Our Vision
"All
children with elevated blood lead levels in Florida receive
timely and comprehensive care, education, and referrals as
outlined in the Florida Department of Health's Case Management
Guidebook. These services will be of the highest quality to
effectively prevent further exposure, reduce blood lead levels
below 10 ug/dL and to enable each child to reach their full
potential."
Our Goal
Ensure children with elevated blood lead levels are offered
timely and comprehensive case management including proper
medical monitoring and activities that effectively reduce the
blood lead level and protect the child from repeat exposure.
