Program/Project strengths
|
| MATCH
health teams will determine if children’s health needs are being met by
completing health case reviews at 3, 6, or 12 month intervals depending
on the child’s level of health needs. The health case review will
result in a health care plan/health passport that will be shared with
workers and caregivers. The health care plan will identify if routine
and chronic health needs are being met, if mental health treatment plans
are appropriate, if there are outstanding health needs. |
|
|
Program/Project challenges
|
Lack of shared database between MATCH program and case workers. |
