One of the handful of ways CSOH supported the whole health of Ohioans in 2024 was through the Outcomes Acceleration for Kids ("OAK") Initiative.OAK is a new program, used as an illustration that Medicaid-managed care is shifting its focus to positive health outcomes instead of the business of care. It was introduced as an innovative program, a partnership among children's hospitals, Medicaid-managed care plans, and the Ohio Department of Medicaid. OAK is a rapid-cycle improvement project, which improves coordination of communication between evolvements in the clinical setting and Medicaid-managed care. It focuses on well care instead of sick care, follow-up care for families after leaving the emergency department, and access to life-saving care for children with sickle cell disease. CSOH invested over $1,125,000 in 2024 under this program.
