36 Council on Children With Disabilities et al. Pediatrics 2006;118:

37 Developmental Surveillance and Screening Policy Implementation Project (D-PIP) Assessed the degree 17 pediatric primary care practices could implement recommendations for developmental screening and referrals Overall, the D-PIP uncovered that practices successfully implemented AAP developmental screening recommendations, but were less successful in placing and tracking referrals More attention needs to be paid to the referral process, and many practices may require separate implementation systems for screening and referrals King TM, et al. Pediatrics Feb;125(2): Epub 2010 Jan 25. Implementing developmental screening and referrals: lessons learned from a national project.
