Through a federal grant project, efforts toward assuring quality care for children with special health care needs in managed care settings provided unique opportunities to form partnerships between multiple health plans, community groups, and other stakeholders. Collaborative activities included (1) formation of a pediatric asthma task force and a performance measurement and quality assurance committee; (2) planning and execution of a statewide conference; (3) development of a teaching manual for incorporating asthma education into elementary classroom curricula; and (4) publication of a parent resource manual for health plan members. Key ingredients and influencing factors for successful public-private partnerships are discussed.<p> 8 20808 Quality Assurance, Health Care/*organization & administration 2022-02-21T22:48:57.408-06:00 Pilot Projects Organizations, Nonprofit/organization & administration Minnesota Child Health Services/*standards public Organizational Case Studies 13114 Cooperative Behavior Interinstitutional Relations *Public Health Administration Child document-rn18389 Managed Care Quarterly
