Illinois Resources: Improving Quality

Through coordination with the Illinois Chapter of American Academy of Pediatrics (ICAAP) and the Enhancing Developmentally Oriented Primary Care (EDOPC) project, training curricula were developed on social emotional development and perinatal depression and were provided for Medicaid Managed Care Organizations' network providers and pediatric/family physician sites. The Illinois Academy of Family Physicians also conducted teleconferences, presented at grand rounds, and is developing an electronic monograph offering CME credits on social-emotional development and perinatal depression. Illinois used private foundation dollars to secure federal match under an administrative claim in order to offer provider training on EPSDT requirements.

This section contains resources for "Improving Quality" developed by Illinois.
