Shared Care Planning

Shared care planning is a process for coordinating care for children and youth with special health care needs. OCCYSHN contracts with partners around Oregon to implement shared care planning in their communities. OCCYSHN's public health partners convene teams of families and professionals to create care plans for individual children and youth with special health needs.

NEW! The Family-Centered Shared Care Planning Assessment Tool

The Family Centered Shared Care Planning Assessment Tool is a quality-improvement tool that teams can use to assess their integration of the ten core values of patient- and family-centered shared care planning. The tool was identified as a "Cutting Edge Practice" by the national Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs.
