The Commonwealth Fund's Assuring Better Child Health and Development (ABCD) program is helping states recognize that improving young children's developmental and health outcomes demands systemic linkages between primary care practices and other health services and community resources. Five states are now collaborating to develop sustainable models of community-based care coordination services and supports for child health care practices. In year 2 of this three-year project, states will test their implementation plans in selected communities, build the case for policy changes, and develop the capacity to spread effective care coordination models to other communities.
