The AAP is joined by Catalyst Center (Boston University) and Got Transition (The National Alliance to Advance Adolescent Health) to form a national network of technical assistance resource centers, Advancing Systems of Services for CYSHCN Network (Network). Together—in collaboration with the MCHB—these organizations will develop shared goals and activities to address three main areas to improve outcomes for CYSHCN and their families—health care financing, transitions, and patient/family-centered medical home.
- The goal of the network is to engage 90 percent or more of state Maternal and Child Health Title V/CYSHCN programs in technical assistance, training, education, and partnership building activities designed to demonstrate improvement in one or more of the following areas:
- coordinated, ongoing comprehensive care within a medical home for CYSHCN
- youth with special health care needs receive the services necessary to make transitions to adult health care
- adequate private and/or public insurance to pay for needed services for families of CYSHCN

- Network Year 1 Summary
- Network COVID-19 Cafes
