Abstract

Funded community-based organizations improved utilization of children's health services by developing innovative staffing patterns, creating new data systems for scheduling appointments and maintaining records, and forging new collaborative relationships to leverage financial support. These strategies were rooted in collaboration with community-based organizations, health care providers, and the state Medicaid agency.
