PCMH Kids is a state-wide collaborative covering 110,000 children from 37 practice sites representing ½ the children in RI and 80% of the Medicaid population. This PCMH Kids IBH initiative consists of 8 pediatric practice sites serving approximately 40,000 children and represents both independent practice sites and practices that are part of systems of care. Priority was given to practices that serve vulnerable populations. This initiative recognizes and capitalizes on the fact that primary care is the logical center piece for providing effective mental health promotion and prevention because the pediatrician is the most likely medical professional that children and adolescents come in contact with during their early and adolescent years.
Through this pediatric IBH initiative, CTC-RI and PCMH Kids is building on its success in implementing integrated behavioral health in adult primary care practices as well as leveraging the behavioral health work done in pediatrics through our PCMH-Kids program over the past 3 years. The 8 pediatric practices enrolled in this program are:
