Thanks to renewed funding from HRSA, the CMC CoIIN Project at the Center for Innovation in Social Work & Health at BUSSW will forge ahead in improving care delivery for children with medically complex conditions.
Excerpted from “New HRSA Funding Awarded to CMC CoIIN Project to Improve Care Delivery for Children with Medical Complexity” (CISWH News):
The CMC CoIIN project at the Center for Innovation in Social Work & Health (CISWH) has received an $830,000 supplemental funding award from the U.S. Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA), allowing the project team to continue its innovation in care delivery for children with medical complexity (CMC) for an additional year.
The project is one of six currently funded by the HRSA’s Maternal and Child Health Bureau that address complex health problems through wide-ranging, interdisciplinary teams called “CoIINs” – Collaborative Improvement and Innovation Networks. The primary goal of the CMC CoIIN project is to improve the quality of life for children with medically complex conditions. In addition, the project aims to increase the cost-effectiveness of their care and improve the well-being of their families.
Since HRSA initially funded the project in 2017, the team has developed and implemented numerous novel care delivery strategies, ranging from implementing a multi-specialty integrated service delivery system in Texas to developing a complex care resource team in Indiana.
The CMC CoIIN project team is led by Principal Investigator Meg Comeau, a nationally recognized expert on health care financing policy for children with special health care needs. […]
