North Carolina Resources: Improving Quality

In its work with the Medicaid agency to support the new screening policy, the project developed and offered five trainings in the fall of 2004. These 5-hour, 1-day trainings were designed to serve quality improvement teams from pediatric and family practices. For those practices unable to participate in the day-long training, the project developed a 1-hour video and companion workbook. The project developed resources, including an office resource guide, designed to help primary care practices integrate standardized developmental screening into their workflow.

This section contains resources for "Improving Quality" developed by North Carolina.
