to the State
MCHB Medical Home Grant: Abstract
Project Period: 3/31/02- 5/30/05
Purpose: The purpose of the Hawaii Medical Home
Implementation Project for Children with Special Health
Care Needs is to further expand statewide operationalization
of the medical home through conducting district-by-district
statewide education on medical home for primary care providers,
families, and community organizations with family-centered
curriculum developed collaboratively by families, state
agencies, pediatricians, and community-based organizations;
2) provide state-level policy leadership centered on issues
of expanding state referral system from 0-3 to 3-5 and of
physician weighted reimbursement for services provided to
families of medically fragile children; and, 3) develop
curriculum components for state and national medical home
curriculum that integrate family-centered case studies within
existing curriculum sections to demonstrate successes and
barriers in creating effective medical homes and to explore
care coordination issues in more depth.

Program (UHIPRP) educates and trains pediatricians who will
lead the community in caring and advocating for the children
of Hawaii and the Pacific Basin, with a commitment to research,

of pediatric professionals with greater skills and interest
in community-based medicine, advocacy, and the capacity
to improve the health of children in their communities.

State Waiver Information: www.cms.hhs.gov/MedicaidStWaivProgDemoPGI/08_WavMap.asp
Waivers are the result of a process
that allows state Medicaid agencies to apply for and receive
permission from HCFA to provide services not otherwise covered
by Medicaid and/or to do so in ways not described by the
Social Security Act. Most Medicaid managed care programs
require Waivers. The Waivers, which can differ greatly,
are known by their numbers (1115, 1119), or as home-and
community-based, or as Katie Beckett Waivers.
