Development, Sources, and Acknowledgments

The HealthCheck Provider Education System is based primarily on information from the following sources:

	The HealthCheck Manual and Periodicity Schedule developed by the Department of care Financing.
	The manual was developed in collaboration with many organizations and agencies. The content of this manual is based on the information available at time of publication and will be reviewed and updated periodically.
	Bright Futures: Guidelines for Health Supervision for Infants, Children, and Adolescents and its companion Pocket Guide developed by Bright Futures at Georgetown University.
	The guidelines are consistent with those of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, and were developed with the support of the Health Resources and Services Administration's Maternal and Child Health Bureau.
	Medicaid and EPSDT information from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
	This resource contains information on the EPSDT program including periodicity schedule, components of an EPSDT visit, state reporting requirements, and national CMS Form-416 data.

District of Columbia

The Department of Healthcare Financing, spearheads the HealthCheck program and has led the initiative to provide training and resources to health professionals in HealthCheck/EPSDT requirements. This office made the Provider Education System possible through a contract with Georgetown University.

The District of Columbia's Collaborative of Medical Directors provided crucial information for the HealthCheck manual, and served as a valuable resource in the development, review, and implementation of the HealthCheck Provider Education System. Their support and enthusiasm added depth and humanity to this project.
