Need for Care Coordination

Some families who need help with coordination of their children’s care have difficulty obtaining access to care coordination services. Overall, the parents of 55 percent of CSHCN did not report that they needed help with care coordination, either because their children only saw one provider or because the parents coordinated their care themselves. The parents of 30 percent reported that they needed help and usually received it. The parents of the remaining 15 percent reported that they needed help and did not receive it.
