Technical assistance for quality incentive measure: Young children receiving social-emotional issue-focused intervention/treatment services

This quality measure was developed by Oregon Pediatric Improvement Partnership (OPIP). It is part of Oregon's Health Aspects of Kindergarten Readiness measurement strategy and asks CCOs to work with their provider networks to identify and connect young children (age 1‒5 years) to issue-focused interventions and treatment services that help them and their families with social emotional health needs.

Guidance

In 2022 through 2024, CCOs were doing the following work to better understand needs of young children and providers that care for them:

  • Social-emotional health reach metric data review and assessment
  • Asset map of existing social-emotional health services and resources
  • CCO-led cross-sector community engagement
  • Action plan to improve social-emotional health service capacity and access

2024 system-level specifications and guidance for CCOs
