Hill I, Zimmerman B. 1994. Improving the quality and coordination of care for Indiana's children with special health care needs. Washington, DC: Health Systems Research, ca. 60 pp.

Annotation: This is a report of assistance to the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) from Health Systems Research, Inc. (HSR). ISDH officials identified two primary objectives in their request for technical assistance: 1) enhancing the capacity of the Title V Children's Special Health Care Services (CSHCS) program to provide comprehensive primary care to special needs children; and 2) defining and clarifying the future role of Indiana's Title V program, which includes the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) and CSHCS programs, in the context of the state's implementation of a Medicaid managed care system. Site visits led to the development of the following two products which are described in the report: 1) a comprehensive proposal for adopting and implementing a Medicaid-financed care coordination system for children with special health care needs; and 2) draft addenda to contracts with managed care providers outlining appropriate protocols and quality standards for delivery of services for children with special health care needs.
