  • New Web Resource: Implementing DSS in Practice
    As you may know, the "Medical Home Screening and Surveillance Program" (MHSSP) is a cooperative agreement with the CDC.  The COCWD Executive Committee serves as an advisory group to the MHSSP.  Partnership with the MHSSP has allowed the COCWD to look at implementation of our policies.

    A recent project of the MHSSP was the Developmental Surveillance and Screening Implementation Project (D-PIP).  The purpose of D-PIP was to assess the feasibility of implementing the policy statement, "Identifying Infants and Young Children with Developmental Disorders in the Medical Home: An Algorithm for Developmental Surveillance and Screening" into pediatric practice.  The algorithm served as a decision-making tool for health care professionals conducting developmental surveillance and screening (DSS).

    Introducing....The MHSSP, in conjunction with D-PIP practice sites, has most recently developed a series of web pages that provide information on the implementation of DSS in pediatric practices.  The pages include: an interactive partnerships, training/education, and additional resources for providers and parents.
