Illinois’ ABCD III project, Illinois Healthy Beginnings II: Coordinating Medical Homes and Community Services, builds upon a very successful ABCD II experience. Illinois Medicaid has a track record of coordination and collaboration with Title V and WIC programs, the public health infrastructure, and many stakeholders. Since the end of ABCD II Illinois has continued to work to assure healthy development of young children and have implemented other complementary initiatives, such as Illinois Health Connect (an enhanced PCCM program that promotes access to medical homes). This offers a strong foundation to support ABCD III goals. Illinois has identified two issues to address in their ABCD III initiative: (1) Identify the best, sustainable practices for ensuring effective referrals and linkages are made across screening, referral, and treatment/prevention programs, and (2) Ensure that all children are linked to the services that best fit their unique needs.
