Foster Care Medical Home ECHO Project

This group meets virtually bi-monthly to discuss the care of children in state custody who present with behavioral health issues, including trauma and physical abuse in the primary care setting and effective psycho-pharmacology management.

Key to the success of this collaborative is that the enrolled practices will be able to communicate with one another and learn from each other’s management of children with complicated behavioral health concerns in a consultative model with the COE.  Over time, enrolled practices should develop more confidence in their ability to care for these more complicated behavioral health patients and should be able to apply their new skills to their general pediatric population, as well.

This project is funded through a grant with BlueCare Tennessee.
