As the result of the Utah ABCD II project, there has been an increase in screening for social emotional delay, maternal depression, and recognition of the need to improve relations between and among providers, an increase in new collaborative projects and improved care coordination and communication. This success is a direct result of the goal to bring partners to the table and focus on existing projects rather than creating something new. Learning collaboratives offered the opportunity to not only teach quality improvement but engage in direct improvement from the administrative side.

Accomplishments are listed in the following categories:


Making the case
Engaging leaders
Improving quality
Identifying children and familes at risk
Identifying and addressing needs
Improving policy
Gauging success
Paying for improvements
Testing models
Spreading results
