Key Findings
Wyoming’s Goals: Improve services for children with complex behavioral needs by—
- Piloting a care management entity (CME) to improve coordination across child-serving agencies.
- Integrating CME services with other health information technology initiatives in the State.
This brief highlights the major strategies, lessons learned, and outcomes from Wyoming’s experience during the first 5 years of the quality demonstration funded by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) through the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA). For this demonstration, CMS awarded 10 grants that supported efforts in 18 States to identify effective, replicable strategies for enhancing the quality of health care for children. With funding from CMS, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality is leading the evaluation of the program.
