Hickey C. 1988 (ca.). C.E. in Nutrition for Chronically Ill/Handicapped Children [Final report]. Dallas, TX: Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, 135 pp.

Annotation: This project, which resulted from the recognition of the importance of nutritional care as a critical component in the provision of family centered, community based, coordinated care for children with special health care needs, involved the completion of a series of state, regional and biregional training activities. These activities resulted in the formation and continuation of interdisciplinary/ interagency state working groups in each of the 13 states in Regions IV and VI. The project methodology included two repeating annual cycles of biregional planning committee meetings, biregional workshops and workshop follow-up evaluations. These activities were supplemented by two mini-workshops and two additional regional workshops. Workshop foci included needs assessment, screening and referral, the promotion of comprehensive health care, national nutrition initiatives, financing, standards of care, networking, interagency collaboration, new Federal initiatives/legislation, strategic planning, nutrition payment systems, and community-tertiary linkages.
