Sarah J Beal et al. J Pediatr. 2022 Oct.

Abstract

Children in foster care have higher health care costs and poor care coordination, often due to inconsistent information exchanged between health care and child welfare systems. This study implemented secure automated information sharing and detected improvements in time spent gathering information, health care services delivered, and billing practices at participating health care systems.

Keywords: automated information exchange; child welfare; foster care; health care delivery.
