It was great to have you join in the group Susan, your insight is valuable. We have the plan to include students in our group, as they are THE key stakeholder. It’s just that we have only begun our meetings recently and we do not yet feel organised enough to bring them in. Please help us keep this on the front burner though, we don’t want too much…[Read more]

100% of clinical providers surveyed in Garrett County believe that our adolescents have unmet health care needs.
Looking forward to meeting again tomorrow to brainstorm solutions. Please send me any ideas for the agenda. One highlight tomorrow will be a guest speaker on a unique school-based health literacy program on the eastern shore.

This is a Medicaid document containing strategies for improving the uptake and quality of adolescent well child visits.

  That’s awesome. Strategy 1 is the Bright Futures guidelines from the AAP. I ordered that pocket guide to show everyone! Possibly a good idea to give all primary care providers in the county.

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.

Interesting article here about programs in Iceland centered around high risk behaviors of teens. Their solutions have worked exceptionally well for them. One of the lead authors is now working at WVU. Please take the time to read this and perhaps we can convince the researcher to visit us.…[Read more]

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]
