The Developmental Surveillance and Screening Policy Implementation
Project (D-PIP) selected 17 pilot primary care pediatric practices to
implement the AAP policy statement, Identifying Infants and Young
Children with Developmental Disorders in the Medical Home: An
Algorithm for Developmental Surveillance and Screening to determine
if the use of the policy, specifically, the algorithm, changes the delivery
of developmental surveillance and screening. In particular,
the project aims to determine if the algorithm is efficiently and
effectively implemented into pediatric practice, recognize strategies
for implementing the algorithm, and examine outcomes of
implementing the algorithm. Following the project, information will
be shared with pediatric clinicians and other health care professionals
who are seeking to improve the delivery of developmental
surveillance and screening.
