Summary

Parent-focused Redesign for Encounters, Newborns to Toddlers (PARENT) is a team-based approach to care using a health educator ("Parent Coach") to provide the bulk of WCC services, address specific needs faced by families in low-income communities, and decrease reliance on the clinician as the primary provider of WCC services. The Parent Coach provides anticipatory guidance, psychosocial and social needs screening/referral, and developmental and behavioral surveillance, screening, and guidance at each WCC visit, and is supported by parent-focused pre-visit screening and visit prioritization, a brief, problem-focused clinician encounter for a physical exam and any concerns that require a clinician's attention, and an automated text message parent reminder and education service for periodic, age-specific messages to reinforce key health-related information recommended by Bright Futures national guidelines.

The investigators will conduct a cluster RCT of PARENT to determine its effects on quality, utilization, and clinician efficiency, and its cost/cost-offset.

Parent Coach

The Parent Coach intervention uses a health educator who provides anticipatory guidance, psychosocial screening/ referral, and developmental/behavioral surveillance, screening, and guidance at each well-visit. The Parent Coach uses a parent-focused, pre-visit questionnaire to customize the visit to the parents' needs. Every well-visit includes a brief, problem-focused encounter with a clinician for a physical exam and any concerns that require a clinician's attention. Finally, an automated text message service provides for periodic, age-specific messages to reinforce key health messages from Parent Coach-led well-visits.
