Dyson Community Pediatrics
Training Grant
Indiana University School of Medicine Pediatric
Residency Program
Through the Initiative, pediatricians will improve the health
of their patients and their communities by connecting patients
and families to community resources and services, and by
acting to address community concerns by helping to improve
systems of care. Residents partner with multi-disciplinary
faculty, family representatives and leaders of community
based organizations to provide a medical home for families
throughout their residency training, emphasizing family
centered and culturally competent care with links to community
and school resources.
The ultimate goal of the Dyson Initiative is the development
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.
Here you can learn how diverse programs around the country
are educating residents about community pediatrics and fostering
practical community experiences.

by Medicaid and/or to do so in ways not described by the
Social Security Act. Most Medicaid managed care programs

are known by their numbers (1115, 1119), or as home-and

Developmental Surveillance and Screening Policy Implementation
Project (D-PIP)
Wishard Primary Care Center from Indianapolis,
IN is participating in the Developmental Surveillance and
Screening Policy Implementation Project (D-PIP). The D-PIP
has selected 17 practices from across the United States
to implement the AAP policy statement (scheduled for publication
in July 2006) “Identifying Infants and Young Children
with Developmental Disorders in the Medical Home: An Algorithm
for Developmental Surveillance and Screening” to 1)
determine if the algorithm is efficiently and effectively
implemented into pediatric practice; 2) recognize strategies
for implementing the algorithm; and 3) examine outcomes
of implementation. Following the project, information and
outcomes will be shared with pediatric clinicians and other
health care professionals who are seeking to improve the
delivery of developmental surveillance and screening.
