Partnering- UCEDD, Part C and Title V
•Promoted referral and collaboration at the local level between Part C and Title V
–On site PCP training/TA with local
Birth-3 and Regional Centers
–Standard referral form

Title V Children/Youth with Special Health Care Needs Program
All state Title V Programs promote developmental screening as 1 of 6
National Performance Outcomes• Parent leadership
• Medical Home
• Health insurance coverage
• Screening and identification
• Coordinated services
• Transition to adult life

Next Steps• Prepared physicians to implement in their own
practice and train other practices in local communities
• Physicians, Birth to 3, & Regional Centers chose date to train local community, invited physicians, nurses, MAs, front desk staff
• Champion physicians filled out baseline survey (importance of screening, number and methods of referral)

•Encourage you to all learn more about what
your state Title V Maternal and Child Health
Program is doing to meet its early screening
and Medical Home outcomes and look for opportunities to partner.

Practice-Based Developmental Screening Initiative
• Train physicians to use validated screening tools and make appropriate community referrals (AAP recommendations)
• Prepare physicians to implement screening in their own practice & train other practices
• Collaboration among physicians, Birth to 3 programs, and Regional Centers for CYSHCN

Train the Trainers Event• Project lead recruited 13 physicians from
across WI, referred to as “Champion Physicians”
• Held kickoff event with physicians, Birth to 3, and Regional Centers
• Participants received:- copy of training- research articles supporting screening- ASQ toolkit

Project Completion and Follow-Up
• Project began with 13 champion physicians and reached nearly 200 professionals in total
• Upon conclusion of trainings sent 3 separate on-line surveys to:
1. Champion Physicians
2. Birth to 3 & Regional Center trainers
3. Training Participants, M.D.s & staff

What We Learned from the Surveys…
• 100% of the champion physicians implemented screening (which was the hope)
• 71% of the training participants who responded reported they are implementing or planning to implement the ASQ
• 86% of the training participants who responded reported that their knowledge of Birth to 3 & Regional Centers increased as a result of the training
• 83% of the training participants who responded reported that their experience showed benefit to using a validated screening tool to ID children with developmental delays

Other Valuable Lessons• Physicians reported that oftentimes
parents appreciate screening tool and opportunity to discuss child’s development
• Physicians valued having training at practice & valued face-to-face contact with Birth to 3 & Regional Center Staff
• Birth to 3 reported receiving appropriate referrals as a result of practices implementing developmental screening

The Work Continues
• Requests for trainings are still coming in
• Practices are hearing about training via word of mouth
• Physicians are helping one another with implementation and workflow
• Birth to 3 and Regional Centers are building strong relationships with local physicians

The Work Continues
• Screening passports for families
• Condition specific screening (e.g. autism)
• Child care linkages
• Big Dream…– Better data collection across systems– Screening to referral
