The Health Care Reform Tracking Project is designed to track and analyze the impact of public sector managed care reforms on children and adolescents with emotional disorders and their families. The tracking project uses a mixed method approach: surveys of all states and in-depth impact analyses, using qualitative case studies, of states with substantial experience with Medicaid managed care reforms. The all-state surveys are designed to describe, track, and provide detailed information on managed care reforms being implemented by states. The presentation will present overall findings and trends from the 2000 Survey.
