Information for Providers
Extended Hours Well-Care Visit Event Toolkit (PDF)
This toolkit is a practical guide to support family and pediatric medical clinics in accurately implementing and providing efficient and satisfying well-care visit events for children and their parents/caregivers. Although developed in Washington state, the information here is relevant to other states and can be adapted to fit a range of settings, including rural and urban. The information here is designed to help clinics planning to implement a new well-care day/evening/weekend event. Clinics that have already conducted well-care events but want to review and refine their practices will also benefit from this information.
Tips to Raise the Rate of Well-Care Visits (PDF)
This list of tips is compiled from parent comments in focus groups hosted by the Washington State Department of Health in fall 2017 and from clinics participating in the Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCO) Collaborative PIP’s Empanelment and Well-Care Visit (WCV) Projects.
