Approximately 500,000 children and infants go into out-of-home placement in the United States each year. Increased attention is being given to the health care of children as they enter and remain in placement. This article describes a model, which has been in operation for 5 years, that provides medical assessments of children as they enter emergency out-of-home placement. The model is a community partnership with the county social service department, the police department, and the hospital. A computerized database that contains records for each child, including medical findings, has been helpful in developing a profile of the children served and contributes to continuity of care.
