About
Care coordination is a core component of federal and state efforts to improve health outcomes, reduce caregiver and patient burden, and decrease health care costs for children and adults with chronic and complex conditions. Historically, many policymakers and health services researchers have focused on care coordination for adult populations rather than on care coordination for children. That trend has shifted in recent years as states place priority on integrated care for children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN). The care coordination needs of CYSHCN deserve special attention as they may differ from those of adults due to additional service sector involvement, provider specialties required, and changes to children's’ health care conditions as they grow and mature.Tags
