"Thanks to funding from the American Academy of Pediatrics and a three-year grant from HRSA, we are developing educational offerings on medical homes and creating mentor medical home sites that will help us learn more about the best ways to deliver comprehensive care to these vulnerable children," said DHEC's CRS (Title Five) Director Linda Price. "We are examining the services that families receive in the medical practice setting and looking at ways to better link families to community services and to specialty providers," she said. In a medical home, a pediatrician or family practice physician coordinates a team approach to ensure the child receives all necessary medical and non-medical services required. This approach is family-centered, recognizing the importance of the family to the child's care and seeking to improve the way families and professionals work together.

Search: Home Literacy Legislation SOUTH CAROLINA Background to Enactment Summary of Legislation The Early Childhood Development and Academic Assistance Act of 1993, known as Act 135, added to Education Improvement Act funds to provide for the expansion of "Target 2000" to all 91 school districts by the year 1994-95 and allows schools more flexibility in using funds. In their five-year plans for serving children from birth to age five, districts must include a parenting/family literacy component that creates partnerships with health and human service agencies, adult education programs and community organizations. Districts also must make intensive efforts to recruit parents whose children are at risk for school failure, must provide parent education and are encouraged to offer parents opportunities to improve their education if they do not possess a high school diploma or its equivalent. The legislation provides for the State Board of Education to promulgate regulations, but these regulations have not yet been approved by the General Assembly. Funding Administrative Structure The "Guidelines for Implementing Parenting/Family Literacy As Required By Act 135" address service delivery methods, needs assessment and developmental screening. They call for an annual evaluation of each program and collaboration with other local agencies. In the "Guidelines," at-risk children are defined according to criteria including developmental delays, unstable homes, poverty, limited English proficiency, low educational level of parent, unusual age of caregiver, poor health, child abuse and neglect, inadequate parenting and inadequate access to critically needed family services.

For Grandparents and Special Others Raising Children South Carolina Grandparents and Other Relatives Raising Children A State Fact Sheet August 2002 Across the country, more than six million children approximately 1 in 12 children are living in households headed by grandparents or other relatives. South Carolina has more than 113,000 children living in households headed by grandparents or other relatives. In many of these households, grandparents and other relatives are the primary caregivers (“kinship caregivers”) for children whose parents cannot or will not care for them due to substance abuse, illness and death, abuse and neglect, economic hardship, incarceration, divorce, domestic violence, and other family and community crises. In response to the growing numbers of these kinship care families, state legislatures, public and private agencies, and grassroots coalitions in South Carolina and across the country have begun to expand services and supports for children living with kin inside and outside of the foster care system. A Look at the Numbers: Kinship Care in South Carolina The data below show the numbers of grandparents who are living in households with at least one grandchild under the age of 18, as well as the numbers of grandparents who are the primary caregivers for these grandchildren. These numbers were reported by the 2000 U.S. Census and are available for every place (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau) in the country, including cities, towns, villages, and boroughs, on the U.S. Census website.

New SC heart program assures unified care by Cindy A. Abole, Public Relations MUSC's new director of pediatric cardiology is taking the quality cardiac care and research he directs here to children throughout South Carolina. J. Philip Saul, M.D., who came to MUSC in 1998 from Harvard Medical School, has already helped create the Children's Heart Program of South Carolina, a collaborative consortium of 17 pediatric cardiologists in South Carolina which will ultimately coordinate a network of heart specialists and outreach opportunities throughout the state. “In the area of pediatric cardiology, it would be ideal if pediatric cardiac services could be regionalized like this throughout the country, so that frontier care could be provided at each of a limited number of centers,” said Saul. “Studies show that as medical centers compete for congenital heart patients, in the long run it is the patients who lose out to fragmented care.” Through the Children's Heart Program, the state is divided into four geographical regions: the Upstate—centered at Greenville Hospital Systems, Greenville; the Midlands—USC/Richland Memorial Hospital, Columbia; the Piedmont—McLeod Hospital, Florence and the Lowcountry—centered at MUSC, Charleston. Saul wants to focus on frontier interventional techniques and clinical services in all areas of pediatric cardiology— surgery, catheterization, electrophysiology, echocardiography and intensive care.

S.C. Emergency Medical Services EMS For Children What is EMSC? EMSC is the Emergency Medical Services for Children Program. In 1984 federal legislation was passed to provide assistance to states to improve pediatric emergency medical care. In October 1994 the EMS division received the state's first EMSC implementation grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The grant was designed to focus upon the special treatment needs of pediatric patients in emergency situations and strengthen the pediatric component of the state Emergency Medical Services system. The overall goal of the program is to reduce the mortality and morbidity of pediatric medical and trauma patients by improving the regional systems of care for the pediatric patient. How does the program achieve its goal of improving pediatric care? Training: The EMSC program works closely with the four regional EMS offices to provide pediatric specialty training courses for personnel in the pre-hospital emergency medical services setting. These courses help EMTs prepare for the special treatment needs encountered during pediatric emergencies. Regional Systems of Care: The EMSC program has a committee of dedicated physicians, nurses, paramedics, and health care administrators that have developed treatment protocols, updated the state drug list and ambulance equipment list. These professionals also review procedures to determine needed improvements. The committee is developing a system to recognize the special pediatric capabilities of the state's hospitals.
