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.
