Health Check Strategies

Health Check strategies implemented Statewide include:

• Changes in state program administration to help integrate policies and procedures so both financing and service delivery objectives are compatible among State agencies.
• Changes in local administration to improve coordination among local agencies, improve outreach to families and providers, and to assist families in obtaining needed health services.
• Implementation of a statewide outreach campaign and toll-free hotline to educate parents about the availability of services and the importance of regular care.
• Design and implementation of an automated information and notification system to provide families, caregivers and Health Check Coordinators with information regarding program participation.
• Expansion of coverage for special services.
