Building Medical Home Partnerships: Small Steps: Big Changes ( A Wisconsin Medical Home Toolkit) www.wimedicalhometoolkit.aap.org is a new Web-based resource for Wisconsin health care providers. The Toolkit shares the insights of a committed group of families, physicians and care coordinators who have been involved in a continuous quality improvement process to create family-centered care for children and youth with special health care needs. The Toolkit is a roadmap to the tested tools and practice strategies recommended by Medical Home Teams both nationally and here in Wisconsin.
