Thank you for your interest in Project I-SCRN
Practices that participate in this collaborative will work to develop and implement effective processes for screening, referral, and follow-up for development, autism spectrum disorder, maternal depression, and social determinants of health, per AAP guidelines. In addition, social-emotional screening is offered as an optional topic area.
Practices that wish to participate must:
- Provide pediatric primary care, including at least ten 1-6 month well child visits per month and ten each 9-, 18-, 24-, and 30-month well child visits per month.
- Secure approval from practice leadership to participate in this project.
- Agree to the participation requirements.
- Identify a core QI team that will be responsible for providing leadership and oversight within the practice for the initiative.
- The team should include, at a minimum, a primary care physician who will serve as physician champion and MOC local leader; a nurse; and an additional team member such as a front office person, practice manager, or care coordinator (this role will be responsible for data submission for the project). Practices may choose to include additional members on the core QI team, and all practice staff can participate in educational offerings.
- Practices must actively recruit a parent partner to serve on the core QI team. The parent partner does not need to be identified prior to applying to participate in the project. The parent partner will provide guidance to the practice team from the family perspective.
- If required by their institution, seek Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for participation. (Please note: The AAP IRB has approved this project. The AAP IRB approval is usually sufficient for most participating practices since no identifiable protected health information is being collected for this project.)
The application deadline is May 19, 2017.
This application can be completed by the physician champion/MOC leader or their designee. If you are unable to finish the application in one session, you may return to the survey at a later time; however, you must use the same computer and your computer must be set to accept cookies. If you do not have your computer set to accept cookies, you will have to restart the application from the beginning. A pdf copy of the questions is available for your review.
