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.

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.

The Family

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 study by Joffe et al1 presents data that suggest pediatricians have still not made a definitive commitment to providing health care for adolescents and young adults. Although this article might be subjected to criticism based upon the relatively small sample size, the demographics of the population surveyed, and the randomization techniques used in the collection of data from questionnaires, the conclusion that physicians, in general and pediatricians in particular, are failing to meet their obligations to this population is probably valid. This is particularly distressing given the priority that the American Academy of Pediatrics has placed on the delivery of health care to this age group.

The symposium "Screening in Child Health Care"1 supplements the recently distributed 205-page guide prepared by the American Academy of Pediatrics.2 The latter is designed to assist public officials and health personnel in every state to plan and implement the screening component of the Early and Periodic Screening Diagnosis and Treatment Program (EPSDT).3 The guide contains suggestions which, based on past experience, are likely to be considered minimal standards by state officials. Only procedures or tests specified in the guide are likely to be reimbursed.

Pediatric Nurse Practitioners

As a recent trainee in pediatrics at the University of Colorado, it was with considerable interest that I read the article by Drs. Silver and Ott and the commentaries that followed.1-4 During my training, I had the opportunity to observe and participate in the education, training, and evaluation of both child health associates and pediatric nurse practitioners. As one interested in the problems of health care delivery, I have followed the development of these programs (CHA and PNP) with special interest and in relationship to my own experience as a recent pediatric house officer.
