Takeaways from the webinar Complexity Tiering for Children with Chronic and Complex Conditions
 
James Perrin, MassGeneral Hospital for Children: We need to speak with one voice that the purpose of tiering is to meet the needs of children and families. Meeting their needs now will lead to better health outcomes and potential savings later on.



Christopher Stille, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Children's Hospital Colorado:
In terms of policy change, the strongest message is we need to integrate data systems and make them more complete to reflect social determinants of health needs and behavioral health needs of kids.

 
Nora Wells, Family Voices National Office: The most important thing we should think about in any policy change is how are we ensuring that we are listening to the people we are serving so that those voices are an important partner in making any decisions...right at the beginning of the planning.
