2018. New York's Title V CYSHCN program: Using the national standards as a framework for action planning and data analysis. Washington, DC: Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs; [Portland, ME; Washington, DC]: National Academy for State Health Policy, 2 pp.

Annotation: This case study examines how New York State's Title V program leveraged the National Standards for Systems of Care for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN) as a framework for improving healthcare delivery and system analysis. Operating through the Division of Family Health within the New York State Department of Health, the program conducted an extensive systems mapping project that included interviews with over 130 diverse families of CYSHCN. This comprehensive analysis revealed the primary needs for improvement, and highlights how New York aligned its improvement efforts with both the National Standards and other guidelines like the American Academy of Pediatrics' Bright Futures, while emphasizing family engagement as a core principle. The state found that linking their work to the National Standards enhanced stakeholder support and plans to continue using this framework to strengthen their healthcare system, ensuring consistency, equal access, and comprehensive support for CYSHCN and their families.
