View "all-but-final" draft of WA family medical home brochure
Thank you for all the great comments we've received from over 30 reviewers to date (half of them parents who have children with special needs). The input has been very helpful in improving the brochure. One outcome was hiring a health educator at the Center for Children with Special Needs to review the document and lower the reading level of the brochure from 12th to 8th grade.
We welcome additional feedback on this version of the brochure. Do you have suggestions for a cover picture? Because we have already incorporated feedback from a wide range of viewers and have a tight deadline, we do not anticipate being able to make large changes but can correct errors, replace words or similar changes. Please send comments to orville@u.washington.edu by noon Monday, May 12th 2008.
The purpose of the brochure is to inform ALL families about what a medical home is. The state is promoting medical homes for all children, not just those with special needs. The Dept. of Health will start translating this brochure into multiple languages in the next week. We have tried to avoid jargon or words that wouldn't have much meaning to most families not working in the health care system. Let us know how we've done.
Washington State Care Coordination within a Medical Home Fact Sheet
One of the core elements of a medical home is care coordination. In order to provide consistent language about the definition of care coordination and its key elements, a fact sheet was developed based on the work of the 2006-2007 Financing Care Coordination Workgroup, facilitated by the Department of Health. The Workgroup was made up of stakeholders from across the state representing health care providers, families, and state and private agencies and organizations. The fact sheet us intended to use as a reference when describing care coordination within a medical home.
