Field Level Notes
1. Section Number: Main
Field Name: StateMCHFundsExpended
Row Name: State Funds
Column Name: Expended
Year: 2006
Field Note:
The original budget for FY 06 assumed that expenditures for purchased medical care would be lower.
2. Section Number: Main
Field Name: StateMCHFundsExpended
Row Name: State Funds
Column Name: Expended
Year: 2005
Field Note:
The FY05 Expended amount exceeds the FY05 Budgeted amount by $7,000 more than the 10% margin.
The variation is due to unanticipated effects of the Agency of Human Services reorganization, which took effect in FY05. Specifically, the transfer of the Family, Infant and Toddler program out of the Health Dept involved a larger-than-anticipated reduction in federal Medicaid receipts available to the Health Dept.
3. Section Number: Main
Field Name: OtherFedFundsExpended
Row Name: Other Federal Funds
Column Name: Expended
Year: 2006
Field Note:
Beginning with FY 06 the State of Vermont entered into a new waiver agreement for medicaid. This wavier program is called "Global Commitment for Health." As a result, medicaid expenditures for FY 06 are not comparable to previous years. Medicaid Administration expenditures were included in the FY 06 budgeted number, but because the actual expenditures under "Global Commitment" are not comparable they are omitted from the "expended" column.

Field Level Notes
1. Section Number: I. Federal-State MCH Block Grant Partnership
Field Name: PregWomenExpended
Row Name: Pregnant Women
Column Name: Expended
Year: 2006
Field Note:
On assumption the expenditures would be the sum of federal grant and required state match plus Maintenance of Effort in reality expenditures have never been that low. Actual FY 06 were higher than the projection used for FY 06 budgeted
2. Section Number: I. Federal-State MCH Block Grant Partnership
Field Name: PregWomenExpended
Row Name: Pregnant Women
Column Name: Expended
Year: 2005
Field Note:
The Expended amount for pregnant women is over the Budgeted amount by about $50,000, a large variance considering the small amount budgeted. This represents an increase in time coded to MCH by staff in District Offices around the state. Anecdotal information suggests that the increase in time is due to coding to MCH instead of coding to Medicaid Administration, for two reasons: (1) the transfer of the Healthy Babies program out of the Health Department resulted in confusion about whether it was legitimate to code time to Medicaid and (2) the OIG audit of staff charges to Medicaid Admin had a chilling effect on staff who otherwise might have coded to Medicaid.
3. Section Number: I. Federal-State MCH Block Grant Partnership
Field Name: Children_0_1Expended
Row Name: Infants <1 year old
Column Name: Expended
Year: 2005
Field Note:
The amount for Infants decreased from the budgeted amount due to contract payments being processed late.

5. Section Number: I. Federal-State MCH Block Grant Partnership
Field Name: Children_1_22Expended
Row Name: Children 1 to 22 years old
Column Name: Expended
Year: 2005
Field Note:
Significant increase in costs over the budgeted amount are due to: (1) increase in dental services charged to MCH block grant; (2) overestimate of the amount of costs that could be diverted to Medicaid in the budgeted amount.
6. Section Number: I. Federal-State MCH Block Grant Partnership

Form Notes for Form 8
Population estimates presented for VT-occurrent deliveries are derived from Vital Records for live births and fetal deaths. Counts of race of live born infants are based on single-race bridge files for mother and father provided by NCHS, combined into single race for child using algorithm provided by VT Vital Records. Ethnicity of infant is based on ethnicity of mother since no algorithm is available to combine ethnicity of father and mother.

Population estimates for total number of infants in State are based on State estimates. The disparity between the number of occurrent deliveries and the total infants in state is due to a number of factors including, births of out-of-state residents in VT (included in occurrent live births but excluded from population estimates), and VT-resident infants born out-of-state (excluded from occurrent live births but included in population estimates).

11. Statewide Initiatives and Partnerships:
 
a. Direct Medical Care and Enabling Services:
(max 2500 characters)
Vermont’s CSHCN Program provides direct services at site accessible around the state. The services are multidisciplinary specialty medical clinics and include the support of wraparound teams, typically nurse and medical social workers. The CSHN programs also have a substantial component of care coordination and outreach, even for families who do not receive services through one of the clinics. Title V provides funding for respite care for CSHN. In partnership with a consortium of Vermont hospitals, the Hearing Outreach Program makes available outpatient hearing screening, performed by a pediatric audiologist, for infants and young children or hard-to-test older children and coordinates universal hearing screening for all newborns. The statewide Healthy Babies Kids and Families program (now out of DCF) provides both direct public health nursing care and enabling services (case management and services system coordination) for pregnant women, infants, and children up to age five who use Medicaid. The intensity of service is determined by a periodic assessment of medical and psychosocial need. EPSDT sponsored services in school settings have been expanded and target medical and dental health needs. WIC provides nutrition and education services and coordinates closely with other state and local programs.
b. Population-Based Services:
(max 2500 characters)
The state newborn screening program continues to reach a high percent of Vermont newborns. A statewide Fluoride Mouthwash Program continues to be provided in many Vermont schools in regions without fluoridated water systems. In addition, a variety of funds (state and Medicaid) is supporting the development of dental health screening and promotion programs in schools and provider [practices. The CSAP-funded State Incentive Cooperative Agreement Grant is providing support to communities for provision of comprehensive, research based programs for tobacco, alcohol and other drug prevention. Statewide population-based services (related to Title V) include reproductive health services, immunization program, genetic services, SIDS/SUDI prevention program, WIC, EPSDT, tobacco cessation, and lead poisoning prevention.
c. Infrastructure Building Services:
(max 2500 characters)
Title V, in partnership with Part C IDEA funding, continues to expand capacity to provide nutrition services for CSHCN. Collaborations with Parent to Parent and AAP are continuing to expand medical home system for all children, including CSHCN. Healthy Babies Kids and Families, out of DCF, has established a strong collaborative infrastructure in each health district. MCH Coalitions in each region are bringing together primary care, OB/GYN, home health, Parent Child Centers, and other community providers. Vermont has expanded Medicaid coverage to children in families with incomes of up to 300% of poverty and continues with extensive outreach to increase enrollment. Several collaborative efforts are underway to develop infrastructure of coordinated systems for the preventative health, dental, mental health care an other services for children and families: examples of public health issue planning are: birth outcomes, childhood obesity, physical activity, lead poisoning, autism spectrum disorders, breastfeeding, women’s health, injury prevention. Collaboration with the ECCS grant funded activities (Building Bright Futures) is designed to establish a statewide system of coordinated early childhood programs.

There were also 168 VT home births, some of whom had hearing screens as well but are not included in this data. There were 104 babies reported by hospitals as discharged without a screen. However, 86 (83%) of these were screened as outpatients. In 2004 there were 107 hospital-born infants for whom no information was reported (neither a result nor a reported miss). We know, from examining a similar group in the 2005 births, that a significant portion of these were, in fact, screened, some before and some after discharge.

Target: 7%. Baseline: 13% of females experienced pregnancy despite use of a reversible contraceptive method.
Data Sources and Data Issues PRAMS Question: "Thinking back to just before you got pregnant, how did you feel about becoming pregnant?" And responded "I wanted to be pregnant then" or "I wanted to be pregnant sooner."
Significance According to data from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), in the United States, approximately half of all pregnancies across the age spectrum are “unintended” and may be associated with social, economic, and medical costs. Although a pregnancy may be reported as unintended, most children at birth are welcomed and nurtured. However, the social costs of unintended births can include reduced educational attainment and employment opportunity, greater dependence on welfare, and increased potential for child abuse and neglect, with a greater impact noted for adolescent mothers. In general, women who lack preparedness for pregnancy are less likely to receive timely prenatal care, and their infants are more likely to lack sufficient resources for healthy development (Healthy People 1010 Progress Review, Family Planning, December, 2004.)

Healthy People 2010 Objective N/A


Data Sources and Data Issues Data, including the denominator, is available from the Vermont Department for Children and Families, Child Development Division. Although there are a variety of systems that can be accessed for basic data for this measure’s numerator, there is not yet a fully automated statewide system for entry and retrieval of data related to activity of Child Health Care Consultants. Over the next few years, a more comprehensive system will be developed. The data for the denominator is available from the Child Development Division’s Building Bright Futures data system (public portal available at www.brightfuturesinfo.org.)
Significance To be able to measure the link between comprehensive early childhood systems and the strengthening of assets in young children and families.. A strong system of early childhood services promotes the health and welfare of children and their families. Region 1 has committed to create a measure that captures this concept within the mission of Title V programs. The measure incorporates the philosophy of assets and also an ecological model of factors that influence child health and development. Nationally, the number of children ages birth to age six in out-of-home care has increased from 30% to over 76% since the 1970’s. Thus, it has become increasingly important to be able to evaluate child care programs, to assess quality and accessibility, and to know the impact of care on children’s health. Child care health consultants play a critical role in promoting healthy and safe child care environments and supporting education for children, their families, and child care providers. This support specifically includes children with special health care needs. Child care health consultants also improve access to preventive health services such as medical and dental homes, early intervention and family support. This measure is consistent with recommendations from the AAP, APHA, and MCHB/HRSA.

Performance Measure: The percent of youth who do not binge drink on alcoholic beverages.
Status: Active
Goal To increase the percent of youth who do not binge drink using alcoholic beverages as a strategy to support healthy behaviors in youth.
Definition The percent of youth who did not binge drink on alcohol in the last thirty days.
Numerator:
The number of youth in 8th-12th grade reporting that they did not binge drink on alcohol in the last thirty days.
Denominator:
Number of youth in 8th-12th grade participating in the (comparable)Youth Risk Behavior Survey.
Units: 100   Text: Percent
   
Healthy People 2010 Objective HP 2010 26-11
HP 2010 Objective 26-11: Reduce the proportion of persons engaging in binge drinking of alcoholic beverages. Baseline for HS Seniors: 32% (1998) Target: 11%. Baseline for College Students: 39% (1998) Target: 20%.

Data Sources and Data Issues Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Binge drinking is defined as having five or more drinks of alcohol within a couple of hours.
Significance Binge drinking is a national problem, especially among males and young adults. In Vermont, 21% of students reported binge drinking during the past 20 days in 2005 (vs. 23% in 2003.) Twelfth graders were over four times as likely as 8th graders to binge drink (33% vs. 7%). The perceived acceptance of drug-using behavior among family, peers, and society influences an adolescent’s decision to use or avoid alcohol, tobacco, and drugs. The perception that alcohol use is socially acceptable correlates with the fact that more than 80% of youth nationally consume alcohol before their 21st birthday, whereas the lack of social acceptance of other drugs correlates with comparatively lower rates of use. Similarly, widespread societal expectations that youth will engage in binge drinking may encourage this highly dangerous form of alcohol consumption (HP2010, CDC.) For this measure, Vermont is testing the approach of using assets-based wording to measure the absence of binge drinking in youth, so as to emphasize the social and cultural changes that must take place for youth to understand that binge drinking can become the antithesis to the social norm.

Increase the proportion of persons aged 2 years and older who consume at least three daily servings of vegetables, with at least one-third being dark green or orange vegetables. Target: 50%. Baseline: 3% of persons aged 2 years and older consumed at least three daily servings of vegetables (1994-1996)
Data Sources and Data Issues Adult BRFS (BRFS is a population health risk assessment survey using a representative sample of Vermonters over 18 years of age performed every two years.)
Significance The importance of improving preconceptual health in women of childbearing age has become a priority for health and public health professionals in their efforts to improve birth outcomes. Health and social systems should support women and their partners to adopt health lifestyles during the time they may be intending to have a family. Women need to be supported in certain actions, such as in eating a healthy diet, maintaining a proper weight, getting adequate exercise, avoiding smoking and substance abuse, and obtaining regular health care. One measure of these healthy habits is consumption of adequate amounts of fruits and vegetables.

Healthy People 2010 Objective No related objectives


Data Sources and Data Issues YRBS
Significance Assets research for adolescents is demonstrating an association between healthy youth behaviors and certain defined assets. In response to this research, Vermont added five asset questions to the YRBS in 2001 in order to gather information on youth assets in relation to youth risk taking behavior. The state of Maine also uses this indicator, however worded slightly differently - “Do you feel that in your community, you feel like you matter to people.” Also, in response to assets research, MCHB Region One began to incorporate a philosophy that would address a population’s assets in addition to a population’s needs in for the 2005 Title V MCH Needs Assessment. Choosing an asset indicator for Priority Goal #5 is viewed as a strategy to operationalize the assessment of youth assets in addition to analyzing youth risk-taking behavior. A collaboration between Vermont and Maine allows these two states to measure the same youth asset. A New England-wide collaboration has begun to support other New England states to also include similar measures into their TV planning process.

Healthy People 2010 Objective Related HP 2010 Goal: Increase the % of adults who engage in regular physical activity to 50%.
Presently, Vermont's rate for adult regular moderate physical activity is 55% and the goal is to increase by 15 percent by 2010 (ABRFS, 2003.) Of Vermont's youth, 27% report they exercised moderately five or more days per week (YRBS, 2005) Note: Adequate physical activity levels for adults and youth are defined as 30 minutes moderate exercise five or more times a week.)

Data Sources and Data Issues VDH community grant reports from the Community Walking Program, supported by Vermont state funds via the Blueprint for Health. This goal is also found in Vermont’s Obesity State Plan and in the Blueprint for Health.
Significance The VDH is working on several initiatives to encourage communitites to enhance residents' health by creating opportunities to be physically active. Communities are developing such attributes as sidewalks, footpaths, hiking/walking trails, schools open to the public after school hours, and local farmers' markets. Moderate daily physical activity is essential to a healthy lifestyle, yet many Americans, for numerous reasons, lead sedentary lifestyles. Reasons include automated workplaces resulting in many jobs requiring workers to spend hours sitting at desks, use of automobiles for even short trips, diminishing recess and physical education programs, and excessive television and computer use. Another factor is that many communities, designed around the automobile, lack walkways and bikeways to safely accommodate non-motorists. Also in Vermont, the rural nature of the state often means children have long commutes to schools requiring busing or, if they choose to walk, there few sidewalks along rural roads. Organized community-based physical activity programs for families are but one strategy to create an environment that encourages and fosters regular physical activity.

Healthy People 2010 Objective Related HP Objective 16-22 (Developmental)
Increase the proportion of children with special health care needs who have access to a medical home
Related HP Objective 16-23
Increase the proportion of Territories and States that have service systems for children with special health care needs. Target: 100%. Baseline: 15.7% of Territories and States met the Title V guidelines for service systems for CSHN in FY 1997.
Data Sources and Data Issues Medicaid claims data. All Vermont children with SSI have Medicaid. Only primary care providers may bill for annual care plans. See also HSCI #8: The percent of state SSI beneficiaries less than 16 years old receiving rehabilitative services from the CSHCN program.
Significance This measure represents an effort to measure the prevalence and utilization of one element of a Medical Home for CSHCN - the writing of a substantial, comprehensive, annual care plan. VT Medicaid has implemented a system of payment to the PCP for an annual care plan written for a CSHCN. VDH has access to Medicaid claims data and all VT children who have SSI are enrolled in Medicaid. Children who have SSI have met clinical criteria for having a serious, chronic disability, and thus, are children who would benefit particularly from a comprehensive plan of care through a medical home. This SPM, therefore, is a measure of the access of children with SSI to a practicing Medical Home. The same data and similar process is used for HSCI#8 (children with SSI up to age 16.) This measure is a reasonable window into measurement of and supporting access for all CSHCN to a Medical Home.

Healthy People 2010 Objective HP 2010 Related Objective 21-10
HP Related Objective 21-10: Increase the proportion of children and adults who use the oral health system each year. Target: 56%. Baseline: 44% of persons aged 2 years and older in 1996 visited a dentist the previous year.

Data Sources and Data Issues Medicaid data and data from Electronic Data Systems (EDS).
Significance Although appropriate home oral health care and population based prevention are essential, professional care is also necessary to maintain optimal oral and craniofacial health. Regular dental visits provide an opportunity for the early prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of oral and craniofacial diseases and conditions. Experts recommmend that children as young as age 1 year be examined for evidence of developing dental caries. Dental caries is the single most common chronic disease in children. Despite the reduction in cases of caries in recent years, more than half of all children have caries by the second grade and, by the time children finish high school, about 80% have caries (Healthy People, 2010, CDC.) The dental services utilization rate of children using Medicaid insurance in Vermont has been steady for the last 5 years at approximately 45 percent. If many of the remaining 55 percent can access dental services, the number of dental caries can be reduced through preventive measures.

Developmental objective. No data or specific 2010 numerical value available.

Data Sources and Data Issues National Survey of Children's Health, 2005
Significance Mental health services, including counseling, medications, or specialized therapies, are beneficial for children with behavioral or emotional problems. However, these services are often not readily available or affordable to the children and their families who would benefit from them. Nationally, 58.7% of children with ongoing emotional, developmental, or behavioral problems needing treatment or counseling received mental health care as reported in the 2005 NSCH. Children with health insurance, public or private, are more likely to receive the mental health services they need. Of these children needing services who are without health insurance, only 33.8% received any mental health care or counseling. (The Health and Well-Being of Children, National Survey of Children’s Health, 2005)

Healthy People 2010 Objective Objective 8-11: Eliminate elevated blood lead levels in children.
Target: Zero percent. Baseline: 4.4% of children aged 1-6 years had blood lead levels exceeding 10 ug/ml during 1991-1994.

Data Sources and Data Issues Vermont Department of Health maintins a data base of all screening and testing done for lead levels by labs via community clinics and primary cae offices.
Significance Lead is a highly toxic metal that has been and still is used in household and industrial products. Lead exposure can increase the risk of miscarriage, premature birth, stillbirth, or low birth weight. Lead enters the body by inhaling or ingesting the lead directly, most often as lead dust. In a pregnant women, lead can cross to the placenta. Children are most vulnerable to lead poisoning when they are under six years old, and especially at ages one and two when they normally exhibit hand-to-mouth behavior. Lead poisoning can cause permanent damage to a child’ brain and kidneys. Even small amounts of lead can cause serious learning and behavior problems. The CDC has recommended that all children be screened for lead poisoning at ages one and two years. Vermont has the second oldest housing stock in the nation with about 60% built before 1978, the year lead paint was banned. Most Vermont children who become lead poisoned have ingested lead dust or lead from soil that has been tracked into their home

The estimate for the number of children aged 1-21 years who are potentially eligible for Medicaid services is based on the sum of the number of children enrolled in Medicaid at the end of FFY 2004 plus the number of children aged 1-21 with household income <300% of Federal Poverty Level who lacked Health insurance in 2000 (data source VT Banking, Insurance, Securities and Health Care Administration, 2000 Vermont Family Health Insurance Survey).

Column Name:
Year: 2006
Field Note:
The indicator begins with a claims-data review of SSI-eligible children under age 16 who received a Medicaid service in 2006. This is, of necessity, an under-count of the children who had SSI in that year, some of whom received no services, and some of whom have private insurance that paid for the services they did receive. They are matched to CSHN-enrolled children. In addition, CSHN annotates SSI status as the information becomes available. In 2006, 1,625 SSI children received a service. There were 654 children whose CSHN records show that they have SSI. 621 of the 654 were also on the SSI list (perhaps the 33 were among those who did not have a service paid in the reporting year.) In addition, 212 CSHN children, when crossmatched, were found to have SSI although the CSHN file did not indicate SSI. Therefore a total of 866 of the 1,625 SSI children, or 53.3% are dually enrolled. The annual SSA statistical report of each state’s children who have SSI, reported 1415 Vermont children had SSI in December, 2006.

Field Note:
VT Medicaid reports that there were 1,536 children under the age of 16 who were SSI eligible and who received a medical service paid for by Medicaid in CY 2005. This figure compares to 1,384, the number of children under 126 who were SSI eligible as of December 2005, as reported by the SSA website ("Table 7. Number and percentage distribution of children in Vt receiving federally administered SSI payments, by selected characteristics, Dec 2005.") 691 of the 1,536 identified children (45%) also receive services through Vt CSHN, services which include, at least, care coordination. This is the figure reported (691 is 49% of 1,384, the SSA figure.)

We continue to crossmatch by hand, the names/DOB of under 16 yo enrolled in CSHN, with the names of those receiving at least one medicaid-funded service whose medicaid eligibility includes SSI. The crossmatch for this year shows that there are 435 children under 16 enrolled in CSHN who are also receiving SSI, representing 29.3% of SSI children.
