Child & Adolescent Health
The Institute for Medicaid Innovation’s (IMI) work in child health is informed, guided, and supported by an exceptional group of national experts representing academic and non-academic research institutions, advocacy and community organizations, clinician groups, Medicaid managed care organizations, state and federal policymakers, and, most importantly, Medicaid enrollees and their families. These collaborative relationships support our mission to improve the lives of Medicaid enrollees through the development, implementation, and diffusion of innovative and evidence-based models of care that promote quality, value, equity and the engagement of patients, families, and communities.
IMI has conducted research and led initiatives on a number of critical child and adolescent topics in Medicaid managed care, such as neonatal abstinence syndrome and childhood obesity. Publications and resources from the projects and initiatives are listed below.
