Dr. Schwalm has been curious about whether or not Medicaid offers any guidance on well care for the adolescent. In our search we came across this document, I will upload and link here:

It might be that there are some pearls within.

In today’s meeting we discussed the Maryland State Health improvement Process (SHIP) indicator about adolescent wellness visits.
The measure is defined this way:
This indicator reflects the percentage of adolescents (ages 13-20 years old) enrolled in Medicaid (320+ days) who received at least one well child visit during the past year.
You can…[Read more]
This workgroup has been expansive in ways to address many issues relating to adolescent wellness! I appreciate you sharing this background from the meeting. It is still so concerning that our county ranks so poorly in this area. I’m hopeful that all of the work being accomplished now will help us improve. Thank you for your continued leadership…[Read more]

Jennifer Corder posted an update in the group Vaccines for Adults and Children 5 years, 8 months ago
Hi Cindy, thanks for posting your vaccination data. I am wondering about your measures. Is each data point one patient that received one vaccine? I am guessing some patients are recipients of more than one vaccine at a visit. Is there a place to see the total number of vaccines, and which vaccines we are giving? And finally, I think about the…[Read more]
Hi Dr. Corder: The measurements you see each month here is counting the “number of persons vaccinated” by age group. It is a fact that one person may receive more than one vaccine at the time of visit, and we track that internally through our PatTrac database. As far as cost/value…the health department has always been a safety net of sorts…[Read more]
