Book Synopsis America's Children by : Institute of Medicine and National Research Council
Download or read book America's Children written by Institute of Medicine and National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1998-10-27 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's Children is a comprehensive, easy-to-read analysis of the relationship between health insurance and access to care. The book addresses three broad questions: How is children's health care currently financed? Does insurance equal access to care? How should the nation address the health needs of this vulnerable population? America's Children explores the changing role of Medicaid under managed care; state-initiated and private sector children's insurance programs; specific effects of insurance status on the care children receive; and the impact of chronic medical conditions and special health care needs. It also examines the status of "safety net" health providers, including community health centers, children's hospitals, school-based health centers, and others and reviews the changing patterns of coverage and tax policy options to increase coverage of private-sector, employer-based health insurance. In response to growing public concerns about uninsured children, last year Congress voted to provide $24 billion over five years for new state insurance initiatives. This volume will serve as a primer for concerned federal policymakers and regulators, state agency officials, health plan decisionmakers, health care providers, children's health advocates, and researchers.
Book Synopsis Promoting Universal Developmental Screening in Yakima County, WA by :
Download or read book Promoting Universal Developmental Screening in Yakima County, WA written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objective: Developmental screening of infants and young children increases early identification of developmental delay and disability and creates an opportunity to connect families with needed services. Ensuring screening for all children requires collaboration across the medical, educational, childcare and family resource sectors. This study examines the approach and activities of a collaborative community work group in Yakima County, WA, to create a system to improve access to developmental screening and related resources to all children in the county. Methods: An array of child health and early learning professionals gathered in January 2010 to discuss developmental screening in the county. From this large group, a smaller work group, the Yakima County Developmental Screening Work Group, was formed in January 2011 and met regularly to formulate a county-wide plan for a universal developmental screening system. This case study examined the work of the Work Group through key informant interviews, review of meeting minutes and grant-related documents, and direct observation. The degree to which the group collaborated across sectors was evaluated using the framework of Collective Impact, a model for cross-sector collaboration. Results: Within-group collaboration was marked by Work Group members' strong personal commitment to the goal of developmental screening, their ability to think at a systems level, and their belief in the "whole child" approach to child wellness. Collaboration between the Work Group and partner agencies involved four strategies: 1) visiting the partner's site, 2) customizing presentations about child development, 3) listening to concerns, and 4) supporting partners' knowledge of their service population and their decisions regarding screening implementation activities. The Collective Impact framework indicated the Work Group's strengths in the areas of continuous communication and mutually-reinforcing activities. Backbone support and a shared measurement system were the most challenging components of the Collective Impact framework to fulfill. Conclusions: Systems level thinking and a flexible approach towards supporting community partners as they implement screening in their settings were key strategies of the Yakima County Developmental Screening Work Group. Efforts to develop systems of universal developmental screening in other communities should prioritize funding for backbone support staff and shared measurement to ensure effective coordination and accountability among collaborating agencies.
Book Synopsis Early Childhood Developmental Screenings by : Danielle J. Jennings

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Developmental screening programs identify young children with delayed skill growth or challenging behaviors and refer them to community agencies for evaluation or other services. This research studied the predictive impact of developmental screening results and child and family characteristics on the completion of these referrals for evaluation. A retrospective review of records tracked the status of a cross-section of children receiving referrals to determine which types of screening results and child and family characteristics lead to children receiving recommended evaluations. Records of 138 young children up to five years old who received a referral for evaluation from the community developmental screening program held in Tallahassee, Florida, between April, 2010, and April, 2011, were reviewed for inclusion in this study. Demographic variables, screening results and referral completion rates were collected during a retrospective review of child screening records and agency client records. Data from child records and referral agencies were used to examine statistical relationships between child screening results, child and family characteristics, and referral completion using logistical and hierarchical logistic regression analysis to determine the significance of variables to predict referral completion. Number of concerns was most significant in predicting referral completion outcomes. Referrals with health concerns or social-emotional concerns in screening results were predictive of no completion. The most significant child and family factors related to referral completion were child gender and race. White females completed significantly more screening referrals than other child demographic profiles.
Book Synopsis Universal screening of young children for developmental disorders by : Ina Wallace
Download or read book Universal screening of young children for developmental disorders written by Ina Wallace and published by RTI Press. This book was released on 2018-02-18 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past decade, American and Canadian pediatric societies have recommended that pediatric care clinicians follow a schedule of routine surveillance and screening for young children to detect conditions such as developmental delay, speech and language delays and disorders, and autism spectrum disorder. The goal of these recommendations is to ensure that children with these developmental issues receive appropriate referrals for evaluation and intervention. However, in 2015 and 2016, the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care issued recommendations that did not support universal screening for these conditions. This occasional paper is designed to help make sense of the discrepancy between Task Force recommendations and those of the pediatric community in light of research and practice. To clarify the issues, this paper reviews the distinction between screening and surveillance; the benefits of screening and early identification; how the USPSTF makes its recommendations; and what the implications of not supporting screening are for research, clinical practice, and families.

Download or read book From Neurons to Neighborhoods written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-11-13 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How we raise young children is one of today's most highly personalized and sharply politicized issues, in part because each of us can claim some level of "expertise." The debate has intensified as discoveries about our development-in the womb and in the first months and years-have reached the popular media. How can we use our burgeoning knowledge to assure the well-being of all young children, for their own sake as well as for the sake of our nation? Drawing from new findings, this book presents important conclusions about nature-versus-nurture, the impact of being born into a working family, the effect of politics on programs for children, the costs and benefits of intervention, and other issues. The committee issues a series of challenges to decision makers regarding the quality of child care, issues of racial and ethnic diversity, the integration of children's cognitive and emotional development, and more. Authoritative yet accessible, From Neurons to Neighborhoods presents the evidence about "brain wiring" and how kids learn to speak, think, and regulate their behavior. It examines the effect of the climate-family, child care, community-within which the child grows.
Book Synopsis Reducing the Odds by : National Research Council
Download or read book Reducing the Odds written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-02-13 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of HIV-positive women give birth every year. Further, because many pregnant women are not tested for HIV and therefore do not receive treatment, the number of children born with HIV is still unacceptably high. What can we do to eliminate this tragic and costly inheritance? In response to a congressional request, this book evaluates the extent to which state efforts have been effective in reducing the perinatal transmission of HIV. The committee recommends that testing HIV be a routine part of prenatal care, and that health care providers notify women that HIV testing is part of the usual array of prenatal tests and that they have an opportunity to refuse the HIV test. This approach could help both reduce the number of pediatric AIDS cases and improve treatment for mothers with AIDS. Reducing the Odds will be of special interest to federal, state, and local health policymakers, prenatal care providers, maternal and child health specialists, public health practitioners, and advocates for HIV/AIDS patients.

Book Synopsis Developmental Screening Certificate Program by : Allie Odette Baldassari
Download or read book Developmental Screening Certificate Program written by Allie Odette Baldassari and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all children should receive regularly scheduled developmental screenings (2001). The earlier a developmental concern is addressed, the better the child’s developmental trajectory. Thus, successful developmental screenings combined with early intervention will significantly improve a child’s developmental trajectory. The Child Development Institute (CDI) in Canoga Park, California has spearheaded the effort to provide pediatricians and early care and education (ECE) professionals with training in the recommended standardized screening tools for many years (Maltese, Aguayo & Chavez, 2011). This thesis project evaluates CDI’s Developmental Screening Certificate Program (DSCP) for ECE professionals. The DCSP provides ECE professionals in-service training while supporting community-based screening at CDI’s Early Learning Center (ELC). The research analyzed demonstrates the significance of implementing universal developmental screenings before children enter school, parents’ perceptions of screening, and the importance of helping families navigate the referral systems with follow-up. Seven professionals in the ECE field evaluated the DSCP training, and this thesis viii explores those comments and establishes the benefits of the DCSP with suggestions for future work.
