How to Use This Site

The HealthCheck Provider Education System

This Web site presents the HealthCheck Provider Education System for use by DC health professionals as a:

  • Self-directed online learning experience
  • Review of important HealthCheck and EPSDT requirements and services
  • Source for current information and updates

The HealthCheck Provider Education System includes the following:

1. A Pediatric Preventive Care/EPSDT Curriculum (See the PINK navigation bar at the left)

  • The curriculum is divided into 4 Sections (Overview, Health Supervision, Special Health Issues, and Documentation)
  • Each Section contains an introduction and several descriptive learning Modules

2. Supporting EPSDT and Child Health Resources (See the PURPLE navigation bar above)

  • These resources include access to materials specifically related to HealthCheck/EPSDT and to other informational sources including AAP and CDC
  • Users are also given the opportunity to provide feedback about the site through the Guestbook and FAQs

3. HealthCheck Program Information (in the At-a-Glance box on the PINK navigation bar)

  • Access to the Standard Medical Record Forms (SMRFs), HealthCheck manual, and periodicity schedule are available
  • Important administrative and explanatory information is presented within many sections and modules of the curriculum

Special Information for Pilot Reviewers

Thank you for agreeing to be a pilot tester for the HealthCheck Provider Education System! We look forward to having you be the first group of providers to work with this material and provide input into the system's further development.

As a pilot tester, we are asking that you:

  • Complete the entire curriculum
  • Answer the review questions at the end of each module (user name and password, provided at the end of this letter, will be required to log into each section)
  • Provide feedback (online, via the attached print form, or both)

The information gathered through this pilot testing will be invaluable in making the curriculum better fitted to your needs. After completing the curriculum, you will be the first group of providers to be awarded CME credits through the joint sponsorship of MedStar Georgetown Medical Center and Bright Futures at Georgetown University.

We're here for you:

  • If you experience difficulties with the site, please feel free to contact Bright Futures at Georgetown staff who will assist you with any problems you encounter or will clarify items that may be unclear or confusing.
