At the annual meeting of the State Chairmen of the American Academy of Pediatrics in 1952, Dr. Edward A. Wishropp made a brief report of the plan for giving comprehensive pediatric care in Windsor, Ontario. This had been studied by the Academy's Committee on Medical Care Plans. In order that the membership of the Academy might have more information about the work of this important committee, the editor of this column requested Dr. Wishropp and Dr. Edgar E. Martmer to prepare a communication on this subject. INSURANCE PLAN REPORT THERE are many programs throughout the United States, Canada and several foreign countries, providing some degree of medical services for infants and children. These range from governmentally financed programs, offering supposedly complete care, to those furnished by individual pediatricians having agreements between the pediatrist and the parents. Because no comprehensive review of these various plans has been made, the Executive Board of the American Academy of Pediatrics created a committee to study insurance plans and programs. The president, Dr. Warren Quillian, appointed a Committee on Medical Care Plans as a fact-finding group. Serving with Dr. Edward A. Wishropp, chairman, are:[See Table In Source PDF] Some basic considerations, presented by Dr. S. J. Axelrod, Assistant Professor of Public Health at the University of Michigan, can be outlined as follows and these must serve as a working nucleus in determining a worth while and workable plan.

On October 22, 1970 a portion of the annual meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics in San Francisco was devoted to a conference on the utilization of allied health workers in meeting the manpower crisis. It was jointly sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Nurses' Association and was the third and most successful of similar meetings. The first one, held at the Academy's Chicago meeting in October, 1969, provided an introduction to the concept of pediatric nurse practitioners. The second, held at the Washington meeting of the Academy in April, 1970, resulted in a frank exchange of views of the official nursing organizations and academy representatives and pointed to the need for open discussion and collaboration on the subject. The San Francisco meeting got down to the business of a more objective analysis of issues, and though there was much heated discussion most of it was constructive. An attempt was made by the planning committee to include on the program different models of allied health workers in pediatrics. The program highlighted discussion about discharged medical corpsmen, laboratory technologists, pediatric assistants, as well as the more familiar pediatric nurse practitioner. Of the 418 persons in attendance, 294 were nurses, 43 physicians, and 81 were other interested persons. When one of the nurses criticized the fact that there were so few physicians in attendance, Donald Frank of Cincinnati, a member of the Academy's Manpower Committee, pointed out that there was a fivefold improvement in physician attendance since the first conference. The opening keynote address was given by Philip R. Lee, M.D., former HEW official, now Chancellor of the University of California at San Francisco, who refreshingly offered no simple solutions.
