As part of All Kids, a program that assures affordable health coverage for all children in Illinois, the Department of Healthcare and Family Services is implementing a Primary Care Case Management (PCCM) model that will provide children with a "medical home." The PCCM program is being phased in statewide. One of the quality indicators for this initiative will be objective developmental screening of young children. Primary Care Providers (PCPs) will be monitored for periodic objective developmental screenings, including objective screening for social-emotional development. PCPs will be provided with ongoing feedback using administrative (claims) data identifying those children in need of screening. In addition to this new policy, the pilot projects and state collaboration on provider training and support will continue.
