Each year it is the duty as well as the privilege of the retiring president to present a final summary of his stewardship and some commentary on the events of the Academy year which has just been completed. Such a presentation concerns accomplishments and not simply aspirations; it presents a somewhat philosophic look at our activities in addition to a recital of events. It is both a valedictory for those of us who are finishing our Academy tasks and a challenge to those who are assuming these responsibilities for the year ahead. Before going further, I should like to pay tribute to members of the Executive Board for their valuable help, vision, counsel and support, and to the Chapter and Section Chairmen and to all Committeemen for their diligent service and achievements. I also should like to commend all those in the Central Office for the many tasks they do for us and especially for their fine judgment, devotion, loyalty, and plain hard work. May I commend to you most particularly our new Executive Director. We could not have chosen better. And there is one other, Rhoda, my wife. Without her assistance and understanding, the work of the past 2 years would not have been possible. The term, "delivery of health care," is still new to many of us. In past years it was said that physicians "went into practice." They did indeed deliver care, but it was then called "the care of patients"-a professional and compassionate service to the sick.

In the April 1977 issue of Pediatrics (59:636, 1977), Dr. Cunningham recommends that the patient's medical record be given to the family to keep. He urges that the Committee on Standards of Child Health Care consider this subject. For at least 20 years the American Academy of Pediatrics has published for this very purpose, a "Child Health Record." This is publication HE-4 of the Academy and was last revised in 1968. The central office of the Academy tells me that, at the present time, between 50,000 and 100,000 of these are sold annually to physicians for the distribution that Dr. Cunningham recommends.

The recent letter to Pediatric Nurse Associates and members of the American Academy of Pediatrics reporting the division between the AAP and American Nurses Association on certification, is an unfortunate and deplorable happening. Since the onset of the first Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Program in 1965, more than 1,000 nurses have graduated from over 45 programs adding a new dimension to care for children. Although touted by many as the answer to manpower problems for child health care, evidence over the past five years indicates that a new dimension has been added to pediatric care.

During the past several years as Chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics' Committee on Pediatric Manpower I have witnessed the development of the concept of the pediatric nurse associate (PNA) within the specialty of pediatrics. In addition, I have also been aware of the controversies within the AAP membership regarding the role of the PNA in child health care delivery. Many of you will recall the concern of the mid-1960's which widely publicized an impending catastrophic shortage of pediatricians.

Iwould like to begin this address with a summary of activities and accomplishments during the past year, which, in my opinion, are new or of particular significance for the Academy and its Fellows, and for the health and welfare of children. In doing so, many, if not most, of our organization's established activities and functions will be ignored, not because they are unimportant, but because you are all well acquainted with them and their value. Our Report on the Delivery of Health Care to Children has finally gone to the printer and will hopefully be in your hands by the end of the calendar year. Implementation of some of its recommendations is already under way, and plans are being made to implement the others. A policy and statement on national health insurance has been completed and issued after 3 years of intensive effort. While it satisfies neither the advocates of total socialization of medical care, nor the advocates of the status quo, I believe that it does represent a view of the majority of our membership that changes must be made, that we must maintain an ability to influence these changes, and that the changes must provide options, flexibility, appropriate incentives, and economic feasibility for both the consumer and the deliverer of health care. Under Academy leadership and sponsorship a Joint Committee on Quality Assurance of Child Health Care has been formed. Financed by a large federal grant, it will develop and test methods designed to assure the quality of child health care.
