Illinois changed policy to require family case management agencies that are enrolled as medical providers to conduct objective developmental screenings for all infants and pregnant women who are beneficiaries of Department of Healthcare and Family Services medical programs. Between the period of April 2005 and August 2006, nurses and public health aids conducted screenings for social-emotional delays and maternal depression with a validated tool during home visits.
