Improving Child Health in RI Quarterly Meeting

CTC-RI and PCMH Kids welcomed pediatric practices and stakeholders to the quarterly "Improving Child Health in RI" meeting this month with the purpose of providing updates on the Medicaid Pediatric Healthcare Recovery Program. Of note, 100% of the practices participating in this program are eligible to receive incentive payments based on meeting the behavioral health ECHO requirements. As of June 15, 70% of practices are meeting the July immunization / lead screening performance targets.   

Because practices requested more information on anxiety and young children, speakers Liz Cantor, PhD, and Sarah Hagin, PhD, delivered an overview on various aspects of anxiety in young children, including prevention, screening, assessment, and interventions. Additionally, they shared valuable resources specifically for providers and practices. Recording here and PPT here.
