APORS stands for Adverse Pregnancy Outcome Reporting System which is mandated by Illinois Law. Illinois Department of Public Health requires all hospitals to report to Chicago Department of Public Health, Cook County Department of Public Health or other local Health Departments (depending on where the child lives) all newborns with complex medical conditions. Babies with serious congenital issues, children born substance exposed or showing signs of withdrawal, with very low birth weight, with blood disorders just to name a few. Nurses from Chicago Department of Health or Cook County Health Department follow these children until age two. They visit the homes, make assessments, help with parental instruction and assist in obtaining resources . These nurses know the needs of these children and understand what services are needed. So for children in DCFS care who belong to this group, the nurses can assist your case workers or case managers with part 3 - Health Summary section of the Client Service Plan.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
