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

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
