Policy Brief: Healthier Kids, Healthier Connecticut
This six page policy brief was prepared by the Connecticut Health Foundation to accompany the Transforming Pediatrics to Support Population Health report.
This report, Transforming Pediatrics to Support Population Health: Recommendations for Practice Changes and How to Pay for Them, makes the case for redesigning pediatric primary care to play a broader role in the health and well-being of families and their children and outlines the principles to guide payment reform to support new services.
It includes recommendations that emerged from a study group of providers, payers, foundations, policymakers, and parent advocates convened by CHDI and the Connecticut Health Foundation and facilitated by Health Law & Policy staff at the University of Massachusetts Medical School's Commonwealth Medicine.
