UT's public health agency worked with the University of Utah's Department of Pediatrics to modify its Medical Home Portal to provide clinicians and families with information about best practices in screening and treatment for developmental delays and maternal depression. This site features links to Medicaid manuals, supporting scientific evidence, and local resource agencies. The site provides access to forms designed to be completed by Medical Home sites and shared with community resources. Providers are encouraged to use the forms in an effort to coordinate care and communicate on shared cases.

This section contains resources for "Identifying Children and Families at Risk" developed by Utah.
