Coordinating Care for Young Children and Beyond: Early Lessons and Implications from Leading States

States participating in the Assuring Better Child Health and Development (ABCD) III initiative are implementing new strategies to improve care coordination and service linkages to support healthy child development. A number of early lessons have emerged from the initiative with implications for young children and other populations. This webinar, supported by The Commonwealth Fund, will feature presentations from the five states in the ABCD III Learning Collaborative. Each state will discuss its interventions, lessons, and implications for broader state agendas, including medical homes and health reform. The state lessons are the subject of a forthcoming NASHP paper.
