Child Chronic Care Initiative (CCCI)

The Child Chronic Care Initiative Team has a long history and success partnering with pediatric specialty care clinics from University of Vermont’s Children’s Hospital to engage clinical faculty in quality improvement initiatives and provide clinical guidance and technical expertise to initiatives that improve care for Medicaid eligible children and youth with chronic conditions. In partnership with VCHIP’s Health Services Research Team, we conduct data analysis to track progress and inform future improvement opportunities.

Highlights

Shared Plan of Care (SPoC) Pilot is an opportunity to explore and improve care coordination within your current practice by adding VITLAccess to your current workflow. The goal is to learn from pilot users experience, and guide future work within technology and healthcare systems. As a pilot participant, you will have the autonomy to continue using your workflows, with slight modifications to leverage VITLAccess to share your care plans with care team partners. You will also have access to quality improvement coaching to support your work.
