2010 Forum Outcomes & ExemplarsAdvocacy and AccessIPN Participants impact CMS communications to reinforce quality

care for children.

Problem: medical supply needs of children A position statement was prepared for nurse leaders at the Centers for

Medicaid and Medicare. Conference calls with nurse leaders at the CMS Workgroup on EPSDT, resulted in immediate guidance through the Medicaid Information Bulletin to remind states that they need to be especially alert for health and medical supply issues for children managing asthma, diabetes, ostomy care, and other chronic illnesses.
