Shared Plan of Care: A Tool to Support Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs and Their Families
For children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) requiring multiple services and supports, the use of a shared plan of care facilitates implementation of key functions of the medical home model, including, but not limited to, comprehensive care coordination, communication, and patient- and family-centered care.
The National Center for Medical Home Implementation, in collaboration with the National Academy for State Health Policy, created a fact sheet which discusses key components of a shared plan of care, the role of families in creating and maintaining a shared plan of care, and strategies state agencies can utilize to support implementation of a shared plan of care.
