The Cycle of Engagement helps families, care teams, and, communities partner in the joyful work of promoting the early and lifelong health of children, youth, and families.

The Cycle of Engagement Well Visit Planner (COE WVP) Approach to Care is a model for engaging caregivers of children under age 6 and their child’s care teams in an ongoing, collaborative partnership.

Three Interconnected Tools to Engage, Partner and Improve Health

As part of the Cycle of Engagement Model, the COE WVP Approach to Care includes three interconnected tools to engage and partner with families and improve child health. These include:

• Pre-visit planning to personalize care using the Well Visit Planner (WVP)
• Within-visit engagement that optimizes time spent during Personalized, Connected Encounters (PCE), and
• Post-visit assessment to measure and improve using the Online Promoting Healthy Development Survey (Online PHDS)

The COE tools can be used together or individually, and with all or only some of the families you serve.

These COE WVP tools give families a voice and drive more efficient and effective care. Care teams report:

• ✓ Stronger partnerships with families and creating a culture of engagement.
• ✓ A streamlined process for conducting and billing for required screenings.
• ✓ Improved workflows and stronger sense of collaboration to focus on child and family priorities.
• ✓ Using family-driven data to address specific needs and priorities.
• ✓ Using population-based data and quality reports to advocate for supports to meet family needs.

Why use the Cycle of Engagement Well Visit Planner Approach to Care?

Promoting positive health and flourishing of children, youth, and families is our greatest public health need and opportunity! Trusting relationships, personalized care, reliable and comprehensive data, and ongoing engagement of families and communities is required.

Our Journey and Commitment

We are driven by our dedication to partner with families and care teams to meet the great need and possibilities to promote the early and lifelong health of children, families, and communities. The COE WVP Approach to Care is the product of over 30 years of partnership with families, providers, and experts at the national, state, health plan, practice, and provider. With initial support from The Commonwealth Fund and the Health Resources and Services Administration, we have worked in close collaboration with Family Voices and leaders of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Bright Futures Guidelines for Health Supervision of Infants, Children and Adolescents to translate guidelines into family-friendly, actionable tools to customize and improve the quality of well child care services based on family reported assessments and priorities. Current funding comes from a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
