Applying the HOPE framework to goal concordant care practice
Help Me Grow (HMG), a nationwide organization of affiliates, is built on a system model that emphasizes the importance of identifying and networking available community resources to optimize early childhood care. The HOPE National Resource Center is one of four partner organizations that worked with HMG to implement and evaluate goal concordant care in select affiliates. HMG defines goal concordant care as “A strength-based approach to eliciting parents’ goals for their child’s well-being that ensures parents’ goals drive the process of developmental promotion, early identification of concern and need, referral and linkage. An opportunity for HMG to advance a paradigm shift where parents and caregivers are partners in decision-making, and resources provided are in concordance with the goals, aspirations, and values of the family.” Specifically, the project team focused on outreach to health care providers with the HMG network and applied the HOPE framework to the implementation of goal concordant care.
