Programs

The MIAAP creates programs and services to meet the needs of our members and patients. Programs can fall into two categories:

1. Pediatric Foundation grant funded programs such as Assuring Better Child Development (ABCD).
2. Member service programs operated through the MIAAP.  Currently the MIAAP is working to create new initiatives to support our strategic priorities.

ABCD

Assuring Better Child Development is a national initiative to promote the utilization of evidence-based developmental screening in pediatric practices to screen and assess every child for developmental delays or special health care needs. The Pediatric Foundation of Michigan has received a grant from the Michigan Department of Community Health to train and support pediatric practices to implement developmental screening and make referrals to community and medical services for children who have demonstrated or are at risk of delays. To receive information about ABCD training in Michigan, please contact the MIAAP office at 517-484-3013 or .

Electric Health Records

Your practice could benefit from assistance based upon your Medicaid patient population, MI Child and the uninsured you are serving.
