2018. New Mexico's Title V CYSHSN program: Using the national standards as a framework for educating stakeholders. 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 describes New Mexico's implementation of the National Standards for Systems of Care for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN). It explains how the state's Title V program, housed within the Department of Health's Family Health Bureau, integrated these standards into its framework and action plans. The document highlights New Mexico's participation in an Action Learning Collaborative that brought together diverse stakeholders from Medicaid, managed care organizations, the family-to-family organization, and the Quality Improvement Partnership to establish common objectives. These objectives included developing a standard CYSHCN definition for Medicaid contracts, creating youth transition best practices, expanding family engagement, and strengthening medical homes with better care coordination. Key lessons learned and recommendations for next steps are included.
