disadvantaged, geographically or culturally isolated, and for those with special and complicated health needs.

regardless of whether they receive caze in the public or private sector or whether or not they have health

I.Overviewof Care Coordination Services For Children and Youth With Traumatic
Brain Iniury (TBD
Traumatic Brain Injury Care Coordination is a collaborative process that assesses,
plans, implements, coordinates, monitors and evaluates the options and services
required to meet individuals' needs, using communication and available resources
to promote quality, cost effective outcomes. TBI Care Coordination operates with
an underlying premise that when individuals reach their optimal level of wellness
and functional capability, everyone benefits: the individual and family being
served, their community support systems, the healthcaze delivery system, and
insurance carriers.
The primary functions of TBI Caze Coordination aze:
i) To maximize individual and family understanding and participation
through education and support.
ii) To advocate for individual wellness and autonomy through advocacy,
communication and identification of service resources.
iii) To optimize access to appropriate community services.
iv) To integrate and coordinate service delivery by multiple sources and to
prevent fragmentation of services.
HCP Care Coordination Services for Traumatic Brain Injury follow HCP Policies
and Procedures and are applied consistently by Care Coordinators in all HCP
Regions of the state.
The term "individuaUfamily" refers to whoever has legal responsibility for the
person receiving program services. This may be the parent of a minor, an
emancipated youth, a guardian, a county department of social services, or another
party having legal responsibility for the program participant.
