Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The investigators will work with families, policy makers, and community health care providers and staff to develop and test new computer health information technology (IT) tools to help health care clinics find pediatric patients in need of insurance and communicate with their families about public insurance programs. These tools will be based on technologies currently used to help patients and clinics manage chronic diseases. The investigators will test the tools by comparing four clinics using the tools and four clinics not using the tools. The investigators will look to see if children in the clinics using the tools are more likely to have health insurance and also more likely to receive certain health care services, compared to children in the clinics without such tools. The investigators will also look at health insurance rates and health care services for a larger population of Oregon children.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
1. Changes to eligibility criteria. We changed patient eligibility to include all pediatric patients through age 19 with \>=1 clinical visit in the study period. These decisions were based on: 1) at age 20, individuals are no longer eligible for children's Medicaid or CHIP in Oregon; 2) identification of PCP assignment was difficult in the EHR.
2. Added second comparison group/study arm. In the intervention clinics, the tools were used on a smaller number of pediatric patients than anticipated, and there were significant demographic differences between intervention and control site patients, despite the clinics being matched. Thus we added a second comparison group, "within-clinic comparison patients" as pediatric patients with \>=1 visit at an intervention clinic in the study period but on whom the tools were NOT used. This provided a comparison group that accounted for clinic-level effects and was more demographically similar to the "intervention patients" on whom tools were used.
3. Revision of Aim 3 - CHIPRA recommended care assessment. We did not pursue assessment of CHIPRA quality care measures due to 1) limited follow-up time due to the need to implement iterative modifications to the study HIT tools, and 2) the tools were used on a smaller set of pediatric patients than anticipated, thus we had a very limited denominator for these analyses.
