To Review the Previous PowerPoint CCN is a program of community-based child health teams in partnership with the Oregon Center for Children and Youth with Special Health Needs (OCCYSHN). A CCN Child Health Team is made up of a child s parents and the local professionals who partner together to coordinate care for the child. Teams also share expertise and resources, create new partnerships, and improve existing community practice.
OCCYSHN Supported Team Roles Team make-up depends upon a child s specific needs and will always include: You are here! Coordinator schedules meetings, obtains releases and records, maintains records, and coordinates communication among the CCN team members Physician or Nurse Practitioner reviews records, conducts evaluations, and provides a medical perspective Professional Adjunct supports the coordinator and conducts community outreach and networking on behalf of the team Parent Partner provides support to families of the children seen during the CCN team process
Coordinator Responsibilities A complete list of Coordinator Responsibilities is included in your Coordinator Training Packet, but your basic role is to: 1. Coordinate and schedule Child Health Team Meetings. 2. Create and maintain files from medical, education, and community-based services in a HIPAA and FERPA compliant manner. 3. Disseminate reports and shared care plans appropriately and communicate with community partners as needed to ensure effective team meetings and coordination of care. 4. Coordinate shared care plan tracking with the Parent Partner. 5. Submit program data forms on a timely basis to OCCYSHN and facilitate data collection, as requested by OCCYSHN. 6. Participate in CCN Child Health Team learning opportunities provided by OCCYSHN.
Two Types of Meetings The CCN team holds two types of meetings, though they are typically scheduled on the same day each month: 1. Team Meeting 2. Child/Family Visit
Team Meeting The Team Meeting is used to: Discuss new referrals to determine if a referred child and family can be served by the the team Review open Shared Care Plans of children previously seen with input from the Parent Partner Share ideas, information, and resources including local agency updates The Team Meeting Facilitation Guide provides a template for conducting the Team Meeting
Child/Family Visit The family attends a meeting with the Child Health Team. This is referred to as the Child/Family Visit The family s concerns and needs are shared The team creates a Shared Care Plan with the family The physician may provide an exam ( Child Visit ) prior to the meeting The Parent Partner follows up with the family some time after the meeting to track recommendations The Child/Family Visit Facilitation Guide provides a template for conducting the Child/Family Visit

Other community professionals may be invited to attend the meeting on a child-bychild basis. In addition, consult with the professional adjunct to determine the appropriate team members.
The Basic Process Though all teams differ slightly in their make-up and procedures, the complete process might look something like this: 1. A referral is received from the community or a Health Team member. 2. The child s referral is discussed in a monthly Team Planning Meeting. 3. The coordinator requests records and invites the family to attend a subsequent CCN Child/Family Visit meeting. 4. During the Child/Family Visit Meeting a Shared Care Plan is developed. 5. Following the Child/Family Visit, the Shared Care Plan is distributed. 6. The Parent Partner follows up with the family to track how implementation of the Shared Care Plan is going and reports back at the next Team Meeting. 7. When all recommendations on the Shared Care Plan are resolved, or the family opts out, the plan is closed. The family may return to the Child Health Team for further support when needed.
