Quality and Care Transformation Programs
Seattle Children’s Care Network (SCCN) aims to enhance the health and well-being of children in the community across the continuum of care through safe, timely, efficient, effective, and family-centered primary, specialty, and inpatient care. SCCN uses improvement science to develop, monitor, and evaluate quality and care transformation programs and provides coaching, program management, and data analytics support to SCCN practices. The SCCN Quality and Care Transformation Committee, led by SCCN Chief Medical Officer Kenisha Campbell, MD, MPH, oversees the quality and care transformation initiatives and monitors progress towards quality measure targets.

Pediatric Integrated Behavioral Health Initiative
Seattle Children’s Care Network (SCCN) and Seattle Children’s Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine launched an innovative Pediatric Integrated Behavioral Health Initiative in collaboration with the University of Washington Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (both the AIMS Center and the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry) and the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.
The IBH Program has been life changing for our patients, their parents and our providers and nurses. We used to tell patients their options, give them a list and wish them luck and then see them back repeatedly in crises due to no access to care. Now we are able to rapidly get care for patients, assess their needs, support their parents and take the worry off the minds of providers and nurses. We are able to figure out problems quickly and get kids support when they are little, not just as struggling teens. Our patients show up to care, as well, since they feel safe in our building, and we can introduce them and show them the therapy rooms. Parents also feel safer giving therapy a try. Additionally, the therapists have taught our staff therapy concepts and the well-being of our staff is better, more trauma informed, and they take better care of their own mental health which decreased burnout.
