Innovative Strategies for Integrated Care Management and Improved Health Outcomes for Children

Pediatric care management is essential for ensuring positive health outcomes for children, especially those with complex medical and social needs. By integrating medical, developmental, and psychosocial support, pediatric care management fosters coordination among healthcare providers, caregivers, social services, and community resources. This collaborative approach not only improves patient health but also reduces hospitalization, optimizes resource use, and empowers families with the tools and knowledge to manage care effectively.

This session will explore innovative strategies in pediatric care management through personal experiences and case studies, highlighting how integrated case management bridges care gaps, reduces disparities, and promotes long-term health improvements. Real-world examples will demonstrate the benefits of proactive care coordination for all stakeholders—healthcare systems, payers, providers, and most importantly, the children and families served. Attendees will gain valuable insights into how engaging caregivers, leveraging interdisciplinary collaboration, and utilizing data-driven approaches can transform pediatric care delivery and create healthier futures for children.
