achieve and
measure success for all CSHCN.

Goals and Objectives:
This project will address all 6 Title V Block Grant performance
measures, will focus on “adequate public and/or private
financing of needed services,” “early and continuous
screening, evaluation and diagnosis,” and “family-professional
partnerships,” and will build on current Title V activities.
The project’s objectives for these 3 measures are:
Objective 1: Families and youth are informed
consumers of health care
Objective 2: Communities plan to assure
adequate financing of health services for CYSHN
Objective 3: Children are screened early
and continuously for developmental/ behavioral differences
Objective 4: Family/professional partnerships
are developed in health care practices and communities
Objective 5: Providers design services
to meet the needs of culturally diverse groups
Oregon Medical Home Network
The Oregon Medical Home Network consists of six primary
care practices and the Office of the Oregon Medical Home
Project at CDRC who have participated in a 3-year project
designed to improve services for families with children
and youth having special health care needs.
A video is available where you can learn more about the
network, meet the community teams, and hear from pediatric
clinicians and families on the importance of having a
medical home.

MCHB Medical Home Grant: Abstract
Purpose: to promote the provision of comprehensive services
to CSHN through a Medical Home by
building partnerships among community professionals and
parents and facilitating changes in the management of CSHN
in primary care offices throughout Oregon.
AAP CATCH Medical Home Planning Grant 2001-2002: Abstract
Purpose:This project seeks to expand comprehensive
services to children with special health care needs (CSHCN)
living in remote communities in central and eastern Oregon.
Medical homes will be established with primary health care
professionals who are ideally suited to coordinate the multiple
services for CSHCN. However, many remote central and eastern
Oregon counties are federally designated as health professional
shortage areas and primary health care providers lack sufficient
information about community services and lack evidenced-based
knowledge of specific health concerns. Expanding the network
of physicians providing medical homes in the region will
establish a continuum of comprehensive services as well
as create partnerships among the region’s medical
specialists. Changes in the management and delivery of health
care services to CSHCN will be facilitated in primary care
offices, county health departments, and local school districts.
Utilizing the existing Central Oregon Hospital Network (CONet)
telemedicine network, rural residents and family practitioners
will be able to remain in their home communities and have
clinical consults and diagnoses performed by medical specialists
located hundreds of miles away.
