Identifying Priorities to Improve the System of Care for Children With Complex Health Needs in North Carolina: Process and Outcomes of Systematic Stakeholder Engagement.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Children with complex health needs (CCHN) have both medical (eg, chronic conditions) and health-related social needs (eg, potentially adverse social determinants of health) that require ongoing health care and support from multiple community service providers. National standards developed for populations defined by health needs (CYSHCN) provide a framework for stakeholders to plan system-level improvements in care delivery for CCHN, but improvement efforts should reflect the priorities of their families and providers. This article describes a process of prioritizing system-level efforts to improve the health and well-being of CCHN and families in North Carolina (NC), using systematic stakeholder engagement and modified Delphi expert ratings.
