NICH – Novel Interventions in Children’s Healthcare
Eligibility & Referral Process Update
NOTE: The NICH Referral form is no longer useable due to the hospital no longer allowing PHI on this platform. To make a referral to the NICH Program please contact our Referral Coordinator Samareh Shadbeh at [email protected]. We apologize for the inconvenience and have a great day.
NICH serves youth, ages birth to age 18+, with complex and/or chronic health conditions. NICH specifically targets the top 5% of patients with the highest risk (medical and psychosocial complexity) once less intensive interventions have been unsuccessful at impacting the child’s health, medication management, medical care and utilization trends.
As an intensive home- and community-based program, NICH assigns participating youth and their families an Interventionist who provides 24/7 real-time access to (1) strategic family and systems interventions, (2) health systems integration and patient needs alignment, and (3) resource access for family and patient optimization. NICH Interventionists engage families via weekly home visits, daily phone/text communications, attending appointments and can provide real-time updates to medical and community providers allowing for coordinated interventions across settings and improved management of medical regimens.

Kindergarten Exclusion
Thursday, November 16, 2023
I am attaching the wonderful video created by Nurse Molly (it’s at the bottom of this email) that walks you thru how to run the HLT 414 report to determine which students are not up to date.
She also explains the HLT 217 report. This report is optional and used only if you would like to send letters out to parents or students who are not up to date instead of calling or messaging them.
Run the HLT 414 report.
Check the box for kindergarten students
Assessment date – 11/16/23
Cutoff date – 12/31/23
Exclusion date – 11/16/23
Click Insufficient, Incomplete and No Record when running report
Print a copy of your report so you can use it to make notes on it such as when phone calls were made, mail sent and when students were updated.
INCOMPLETE Students: Means they are not up to date. Check Alertiis for any new immunizations that you can update. Check that the CSI signature box has been checked.
INSUFFICIENT Students: Always is a “data input error”. The dates are in the wrong order, or the student’s birth date is entered incorrectly.
If you are a new secretary or new nurse with the district, please sign up for Alertiis so that you can check student immunization records from the state. Use the link below and call the Alertiis Help Desk to be added as a user.

Let me know if you have any questions and Thank you everyone!
