Six objectives were originally selected to measure progress in the leading
indicator Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN). The three objectives
below pertain to all children, though important for CSHCN, they were chosen as
lead indicators in other areas.
|
Fl 35-2 |
Increase the proportion of newborns and all children screened early and
continuously for special health care needs, in order to prevent secondary
conditions associated with birth defects and injury in CSHCN, incorporating
EPSDT into the medical home concept. (See Well Child Check-up 35-1)
|

Fl 1-4be |
Increase the proportion of CSHCN who receive ongoing comprehensive care
within a medical home that includes a continuing care provider for behavioral
