As OPIP enters our 14th year (two lucky sevens!), we feel fortunate to continue to be able to lead work aligned with our mission to build health and improve equitable outcomes for ALL children and youth in Oregon. Below is our annual newsletter, which highlights selected projects and key outcomes from the past year. These include: A high-level summary of the Transforming Pediatrics for Early Childhood Cooperative Agreement that began in September 2023. Our leadership role in Measure Stewardship for the novel and innovative System-Level Social-Emotional Health Metric that is included in the Coordinated Care Organization (CCO) Incentive Metric set. Our role in developing the new child-level CCO Incentive metric focused on issue-focused interventions for children with social-emotional issues. Training efforts for Integrated Behavioral Health and planned efforts for Primary Care. Efforts to Galvanize Action for Children with Health Complexity in Douglas County. We have also included links to testimonies and public comments from parents, parent advocacy groups, primary care and behavioral health providers, and early learning providers. These voices passionately support the proposed child-level social-emotional health metric focused on issue-focused interventions and treatments developed by OPIP for inclusion in the CCO Incentive Metric set. We hope you take the time to listen and are inspired and moved by these stories that so beautifully articulate the WHY for our work. All this work is possible thanks to the small and quite mighty OPIP team, and the wonderful spirit of collaboration that thrives in Oregon. https://lnkd.in/gX7gAksw
