Building a System of Care for Children with Special Health Care Needs

• Course Outline
• Registration Instructions

"Building a System of Care for Children with Special Health Care Needs" is available as a web course and as a CD-ROM. Order form for CD-ROM

Participants will be introduced to a national agenda for developing a system of care at the national, state, and community levels. Participants will learn about current and best practices that assist families in finding, using, and paying for the services and supports they need to improve their children's health care and improve the whole family's quality of life. The course will be focusing on how a well-organized system of care can help to support families and providers to achieve the outcomes they desire. The stories of a number of families whose children vary in the range of services they require are presented to demonstrate how the parts of a system need to work together to meet the family's and the child's needs.

The course is approved for continuing education by the Utah Nurses Association. Application is being made for accreditation at the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing, Inc. (NCHEC), the Utah Chapter NASW, and the Commission on Dietetic Registration.
