Description
Hardy and six colleagues build a data tool to flag Medicaid children at risk of out of home placement in twenty twenty-six. Placement through welfare or long hospital stays reshapes a child's life and drives outsized costs. The tool sorts risk into three bands. It blends claims, welfare records, area data, and family surveys for twenty-seven thousand Ohio children.
Linking the sources took heavy legal and office work. Lessons stress knowing the rules, keeping partner trust, and minding look back spans. Data deals proved hard yet built lasting ties. The aim is earlier help for families before crisis hits.
