This roadmap lays out the four design features (and practical recommendations for action within each) necessary to enroll almost 4 million Californians newly eligible for subsidized health coverage under health reform, in addition to assisting the over 8 million already receiving such coverage. While written with a specific focus on California, the information and recommendations in the report will be relevant to decisionmakers in any state.
This Issue Brief describes how Electronic Record Systems (ERS) - electronic health records, personal health records, and similar technology solutions that facilitate the management, sharing, and use of information - can benefit children in foster care, and the systems that serve them. The brief profiles state and local ERS efforts for the foster care population, highlighting early evidence of the efforts' impact and outlining lessons- learned. It also provides recommendations for actions to expand the reach of ERSs to benefit greater numbers of children in foster care and, potentially, other children and families.
This report includes original research and recommendations to encourage both the creation and evaluation of online content in a way that considers the particular needs of low-income or other underserved individuals. The report also includes a set of guidelines to guide those seeking to create or evaluate content.Children's Health Care/Health Reform
