POLICY STATEMENT

Care Coordination in the Medical Home: Integrating Health and Related Systems of Care for Children With Special Health Care Needs

Council on Children With Disabilities

Care coordination is a process that facilitates the linkage of children and their families with appropriate services and resources in a coordinated effort to achieve good health. Care coordination for children with special health care needs often is complicated because there is no single point of entry into the multiple systems of care, and complex criteria frequently determine the availability of funding and services among public and private payers. Economic and sociocultural barriers to coordination of care exist and affect families and health care professionals. In their important role of providing a medical home for all children, primary care physicians have a vital role in the process of care coordination, in concert with the family.

Key Words: care coordination • case management • children with special health care needs • medical home

Abbreviations: AAP, American Academy of Pediatrics
