The learning collaborative will offer technical assistance to state Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) agencies and their partners using two modalities: a webinar series and an affinity group. The Maternal and Infant Health Initiative is launching the Infant Well-Child Visit Learning Collaborative to support state efforts to increase the number of infants receiving high-quality well-child care. ii, iii, iv, v, vi, vii In Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2019 Core Set reporting, the percentage of children receiving six or more well-child visits in the first 15 months of life was only 64 percent viii, and the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the issue of foregone care. i When children receive the recommended number of high-quality visits, they are more likely to be up-to-date on immunizations, have developmental concerns recognized early, and are less likely to visit the emergency department. These visits should include a family-centered health history, physical examination, immunizations, vision and hearing screening, developmental and behavioral assessment, an oral health risk assessment, a social assessment, maternal depression screening, parenting education on a wide range of topics, and care coordination as needed. The American Academy of Pediatrics and Bright Futures recommend nine well-care visits by the time children turn 15 months of age. High-quality well-child visits can improve children’s health, support caregivers’ behaviors to promote their children’s health, and prevent injury and harm.
