II.  Wrap-up and Group Discussion on Incorporating Pediatric Issues to the New PCPCC Website.

Our call will feature a discussion on the addition of pediatric content on the soon to be released updated PCPCC Website.  Over the past couple months, we have worked closely with members of the American Academy of Pediatrics to gather pediatric information and resources to enhance this content on the Web site and conduct initial public launch/dissemination of the content/resources to key users.  The Center also reviewed and integrated navigation to and from the pediatric content/pages within the broader PCPCC website design and navigational assessment.

Through our discussions with the AAP, the following materials have been targeted to be placed on the PCPCC Website:

1.  The Joint Principles of the Patient-Centered Medical Home.

2.  The Preamble to the Patient-Centered Medical Home Joint Principles.

3.  Statement of the AAP on the Medical Home--To view, please click here.

4.  Fact sheets on the AAP's transformation tool kit (intro paragraph and link provided)

  • Brought to you by the MCHB-AAP/National Center for Medical Home Implementation, the Building Your Medical Home Toolkit supports the primary care practitioner's development and improvement of a pediatric Medical Home. It also prepares a pediatric office to apply for and potentially meet the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Physician Practice Connections® Patient-Centered Medical Home (PPC-PCMHTM) Recognition program requirements.

5. Fact sheets for Child Health Day (intro paragraph and link provided)

  • The focus of Child Health Day 2009 was "Every Child Deserves a Medical Home." As such, the American Academy of Pediatrics encourages all parents, children, healthcare providers and supporters to learn about medical home by browsing our National Center for Medical Home Implementation Web site: http://www.medicalhomeinfo.org/about/ChildHealthDay2009.html. On the site you'll find downloadable materials for providers, parents, and children that provide an overview of "medical home". In addition, a variety of resources for families and providers are described-care notebooks, brochures, toolkits, informational flyers, etc-with direct links to those resources.

6. Consumer Engagement tools

7.  Pediatric family tools (intro paragraph and link provided)

  • In recognition of the critical partnership between a health care provider and the families they care for, the Building Your Medical Home Toolkit offers resources on how providers can facilitate clear communication between the medical home and their patients and families. In particular, the Care Partnership Support section includes a template brochure for practices to personalize and distribute to their patients and families. The brochure can help families understand their role in medical home and how to communicate with the providers.  More information can be found at, http://www.medicalhomeinfo.org/about/ChildHealthDay2009.html.

8.  State pages (intro paragraph and link provided)

  • State Pages are maintained by the National Center for Medical Home Implementation and are designed to keep you informed about key contacts, partners, initiatives, and activities in each state that will help improve access to medical homes for all children and youth. Visit www.medicalhomeinfo.org/states/index.html to access your state today.

 

Additionally the following resources can already be found on the PCPCC website:

1. Healthy Pregnancy and Healthy Children: Opportunities and Challenges for Employers--Primary Care and the Medical Home: Promoting Health, Preventing Disease, and Reducing Cost
