About

The page describes a project by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the CDC to help pediatricians deal with new health threats to children, like COVID-19. Experts created a visual guide for better care systems. They found three main challenges: communication, screening and data, and preparedness. Five goals were set to improve these areas: relevant messaging, addressing discrimination, strong health partnerships, effective screening guidance based on data, and prepared infrastructure for threats. The project aims to connect medical homes with families and communities using this guide as a tool for improvement.
