The Early Childhood Cycle of Engagement (EC_COE) builds the capacity of families, communities, and pediatric primary care teams to partner in the joyful work of promoting the well-being of all children.

 

As part of CAHMI’s Cycle of Engagement model, the EC_COE includes:


  • Pre-visit planning to personalize care using the Well Visit Planner (WVP)
  • Within-visit engagement that optimizes time spent during Personalized, Connected Encounters (PCE), and
  • Post-visit assessment to measure and improve using the Online Promoting Healthy Development Survey (Online PHDS)

The Online Promoting Healthy Development Survey (Online PHDS)

 

A validated, family reported, post-visit assessment of the quality of well child services resulting in reports and improvement resources for care teams and providers, with feedback and resources shared with families.

 

 

The WVP, PCE, and Online PHDS can be used together or individually, and with all or only some of the families you serve.

 

These EC_COE tools give families a voice and drive more efficient and effective care. Care teams report:

  •  Stronger partnerships with families and creating a culture of engagement.
  •  A streamlined process for conducting and billing for required screenings in a family-friendly way check Improvements in workflow and a stronger sense of collaboration in focusing on child and family priorities and needs.
  •  Using data to understand family needs and priorities to improve together as a team.
  •  Confidence knowing key screenings and priorities were addressed for all children and families.
  •   Using population-based data and quality reports to advocate for supports to meet family needs.

 

Why the Early Childhood Cycle of Engagement (EC_COE)?

Our Journey and Commitment


The EC_COE has been a labor of love for the CAHMI. We are driven by our dedication to partner with families and care teams to meet the great need and possibilities to promote the early and lifelong health of children, families, and communities. As a part of our broader Advancing Tools and Technologies to Achieve Child Health (ATTACH) work, since 1997 the Child and Adolescent Health Measurement Initiative (CAHMI) has partnered with families, providers, and experts at the national, state, health plan, practice, and provider levels to design, develop, and test the EC_COE model and tools. With initial support from The Commonwealth Fund and the Health Resources and Services Administration, CAHMI has worked in close collaboration with Family Voices and leaders of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Bright Futures Guidelines for Health Supervision of Infants, Children and Adolescents to translate guidelines into family-friendly, actionable tools to customize and improve the quality of well child care services based on family reported assessments and priorities.


Current funding for the EC_COE comes from a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to the CAHMI at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health and from the Center for the Advancement of Innovative Health Practices.
