The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) recently announced that five states have been chosen through a competitive process to form the Assuring Better Child Health and Development (ABCD) Consortium on Care Coordination. Arkansas, Illinois, Minnesota, Oklahoma, and Oregon will work together to develop and test sustainable models for improving care coordination and linkages between pediatric primary care providers and other providers and systems that support children’s healthy development. This is the next project in NASHP’s series of ABCD initiatives, which have worked with 25 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico to improve the delivery of developmental services. For more information about the ABCD initiatives supported by the Commonwealth Fund, please visit http://abcd.nashpforums.org.
