Exploring the impact of a new care coordination model on early intervention services for infants and toddlers.
Understanding Early Intervention Value: Investigating the Effect of a Statewide Care Coordination Model on EI Resource Use and Outcomes
This study is looking at how a new care coordination program called GO4IT helps families with infants and toddlers who have developmental challenges get better early intervention services, so they can thrive and reach their full potential.

What this research studies
This research investigates how a statewide care coordination model, known as Global Outcomes for Infants and Toddlers (GO4IT), affects the delivery and outcomes of early intervention services for infants and toddlers with functional limitations. By analyzing data from state early intervention administrative databases in Colorado and Massachusetts, the study aims to understand how family-centered care coordination can improve service delivery and child outcomes. The approach includes both quantitative and qualitative methods to assess the effectiveness of the model in meeting family needs and enhancing child development.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are infants and toddlers with functional limitations who are receiving early intervention services.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have functional limitations or are not involved in early intervention services may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved early intervention services that better meet the needs of infants and toddlers with functional limitations.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that family-centered care coordination can enhance service delivery and outcomes in pediatric populations, suggesting potential success for this approach.
