Annotation: The overall goal of the this project was to demonstrate effective models for the necessary components of an emergency medical services for children (EMSC) system and the integration of those components into currently operating adult-oriented systems. The project has outlined the six major components of an EMSC system: (l) System description, (2) prevention, (3) education, (4) standards of care, (5) quality assurance, and (6) research and development. The project comprised seven subprojects whose activities included educating the public, the prehospital care provider, and the rural physician about the assessment and management of pediatric emergencies; comparing the efficacy of ground versus air transport; defining the degree of psychological impairment caused by head injury; identifying the rehabilitation facilities available locally, regionally, and nationally; and increasing compliance with safety belt/child restraint legislation.

Annotation: This brief is designed to help policymakers and program administrators make decisions about funding services and programs in maternal and child health (MCH). Contents include current, high-quality resources about cost effectiveness analysis and cost-benefit analysis in MCH. In addition, the brief provides links to discussions of effective programs and evidence-based practices that achieve health and wellness goals but that are not analyzed in terms of costs for the benefits achieved.

Annotation: This roadmap provides resources to enhance the use of economic analyses in maternal and child health (MCH) programs. It includes a glossary of terms, process guides and toolkits for conducting return on investment (ROI) analyses, case studies showcasing ROI methods for MCH programs, webinars and presentation slides on ROI approaches, tools for ROI calculations, articles demonstrating applied economic analyses of MCH interventions, and examples of economic analyses making the business case for MCH programs. The roadmap aims to increase knowledge of cost-effectiveness, cost-benefit, cost-analysis and ROI methods among MCH professionals and policymakers. It also highlights AMCHP's work supporting state teams in developing economic analyses of their MCH programs.

Annotation: This report presents findings from a systematic review of the early evidence on effectiveness of the patient-centered medical home (PCMH). The evaluation examines the effects of PCMH on (1) quality of care, costs (or hospital use or emergency department use), and patient and caregiver experience; or (2) health care professional experience. A formal rating system is used to identify interventions that were evaluated and synthesize the evidence from these evaluations. The report also provides guidance to inform current efforts and structure future evaluations to maximize learning.

Annotation: This project was designed to develop an Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) program in California. The project worked with a variety of local organizations in order to collect and analyze data on pediatric emergency medical services (EMS) systems. An injury severity index was developed to predict outcomes and to determine how specialized care would affect outcomes, and the cost of pediatric emergency medical services care was calculated. These data were used as the basis for proposing a rural EMSC system for communities with a variety of EMSC resources. [Funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau]
