Strengthening Community Health Systems_Henry Perry_5.8.14CORE Group
This document summarizes a review of community-based approaches to improving reproductive, maternal, neonatal and child health. The review found evidence that community health workers can effectively deliver interventions like immunizations, vitamin A supplementation, and treatment of childhood illnesses. Participatory women's groups and home visits were also found to improve health outcomes. Large community health worker programs in countries like Bangladesh and Ethiopia demonstrated improved coverage and reductions in mortality. The review calls for more integrated community-based programming, strengthening of health systems, and viewing communities as partners rather than just recipients of services.

Nanny Wren chose to become an early childhood educator for several reasons: she enjoys being around children, is able to see the world through a child's eyes, views every moment as a learning opportunity, and believes learning never stops regardless of age. Her goals are to run a comprehensive preschool program that meets all children's needs, provide a positive academic and social environment with developmentally appropriate experiences, and help children develop skills for lifelong learning and success while having fun. She recognizes that each child has a unique cultural background from their family that enriches the classroom.

Proposed changes in health care payment, from fee-for-service to alternative, risk-sharing payment models, can have a substantial impact on health services for children, especially those with complex care needs. In addition, tying payment to value can increase use of ambulatory and preventive services and encourage creative outreach. However, abrupt changes can interrupt continuity and reduce access to care.
A Conversation on Ethical Considerations for a Fair and Effective Health Care...LucilePackardFoundation
What ethical considerations should guide the design and evaluation of systems of care for children with medical complexity?

A Conversation on Supporting Self-Management in Children and Adolescents with...LucilePackardFoundation
While self-management support has been a component of adult chronic care for decades, it is just emerging as a critical need for children, especially those with complex conditions. Self-management is a shared undertaking between the child, their parents and care providers, and must take into account the child’s developmental status and the family’s capacities. Clinicians need routine, standardized approaches and tools to address the unique needs of children and their families including assessing self-management skills, collaboratively setting goals, and promoting competence and autonomy in youth.

A Conversation on Meaningful Family Engagement, from Clinical Care to Health ...LucilePackardFoundation
Engaging with families is vital to transforming the health care system and positively impacting the life course of vulnerable populations. Families have extensive experience in partnering with professionals to improve systems of care, are organized and connected across the country, and stand ready to assist at every level of next efforts for improvement. Learn how to meaningfully involve families at every level of health care systems and engage them as critical partners in designing policies that will improve care for all children.
Increased attention to children with medical complexity has occurred because these children are growing in number, consume a disproportionate share of health-system costs, and require policy and programmatic interventions that differ in many ways from the broader group of children with special health care needs. But will this focus on complex care lead to meaningful changes in systems of care and outcomes for children with serious chronic diseases?
As health care and financing systems become more sophisticated, health care systems are increasingly using a process known as "risk tiering" to group patients with similar degrees of need for health care and care coordination services. Families and care providers of children with chronic and complex conditions should understand the risk tiering process, as it may affect access to services these children need.
Measuring Family Experience of Care Integration to Improve Care Delivery LucilePackardFoundation
The family perception of care integration is essential in identifying opportunities to improve processes of care coordination and care management. This June 15 webinar introduced the Pediatric Integrated Care Survey (PICS), a validated instrument developed by Richard Antonelli, MD, MS, Medical Director of Integrated Care at Boston Children's Hospital, and his team. The instrument assesses family experience of care integration.

Smart hospital applications include electronic health records (EHR), telemedicine, and MHealth. Smart and sustainable hospitals offer many benefits, like enhanced care, cost savings, and pollution reduction. However, challenges like high electricity consumption and cyberattack vulnerability exist. To overcome these, smart hospitals must adopt energy-efficient technologies, use renewable energy, and enhance cybersecurity. In this slideshow, you will learn about the definition, benefits, challenges, sustainability strategies, UN policy, and global statistics of smart hospitals and smart healthcare.
