About Learning Session 2
The Illinois Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (ICAAP) is an organization of approximately 2,300 pediatricians in Illinois. Primary activities include advocacy on behalf of children, families, and health professionals in Illinois; the provision of continuing medical education and other resources for pediatricians, pediatric specialists, and other child health care providers; and collaboration with other state organizations and agencies on programs and projects that improve the health and well-being of children.
Through its medical home initiatives, ICAAP works with individual physicians, primary care practices, and community and state agencies to support the dissemination and implementation of the medical home model, with a focus on improving services for children with special health care needs.
The Building Community-Based Medical Homes for Children (BCBMHC) program provides free medical home quality improvement (QI) facilitation support and resources to practices across the state. Participating practices work to provide high quality preventative care, acute care, and chronic condition management in a planned, coordinated, and family-centered manner.
Learning Session 2 (LS2) was sponsored by the Illinois Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (ICAAP), the Division of Specialized Care for Children (DSCC), University of Illinois-Chicago, and the national American Academy of Pediatrics. The was the second ICAAP Building Community-Based Medical Homes learning session in a two-part series. Leaning Session 1 took place on April 10, 2010. Learn more about Learning Session 1 here.
