1-3-6 PLUS (Embedding Parent Support in Follow Up)
Parent to Parent support is the PLUS to the 1-3-6 model. Arizona has had success in dramatically improving the number of parents who are receiving timely referral and enrollment in parent to parent support services over the past 18 months. This presentation will share the unsuccessful efforts over the past ten years and what is currently working well with the system. Policies, procedures, HIPAA safeguards and quality improvement strategies will be reviewed.
The EAR Foundation of Arizona (EFAz) contracts with the Arizona Department of Health Services to provide follow up services after newborn hearing screening. EFAz is also the recipient of the HRSA EHDI grant and contracts with the Arizona Chapter of Hands & Voices to provide parent to parent support. Co-locating these two services and embedding parents in each system is working!
- Participants will be able to identify the strategies that were not successful in past efforts to engage parents
- Participants will be able to identify the key steps in ensuring current efforts are HIPAA compliant
- Participants will be able to identify Quality Improvement strategies involved in parent to parent support efforts
