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.

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 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.

We referred the question of adequate information for parents and pediatricians on deafness in children to Dr. Stanley Harrison, Director, Department of Committees, American Academy of Pediatrics. Dr. Harrison writes: Dr. Austin's concerns about recognition and treatment of the deaf or hard of hearing infant are shared by the American Academy of Pediatrics. The manual, Standards of Child Health Care (AAP, second edition, 1972, Appendix F, p. 120), contains an updated chart titled "Speech, Language, and Hearing" which includes a checklist for parental observation similar to the chart prepared by the Foundation of Hearing Research, Inc., P.O. Box 452, Redwood City, California, submitted with his letter.

To the Editor.— Environmentalists use bumper stickers and other means to urge us to "think globally; act locally." The American Academy of Pediatrics could well make the same recommendations to authors who contribute to its publications. From one geographic location, we should not allow our writing to imply an ignorance of or disregard for the situations in which other child health care providers live. Whether reporting and discussing research findings or proposing practice guidelines, we should be careful to clearly define the relevant populations.

Pediatric Nurse Practitioner

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.

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.

ResumoObjetivo: verificar a qualidade da atenção à saúde da criança pelas equipes da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) em Capital do Nordeste do Brasil. Método: trata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo, com abordagem quantitativa, realizado durante o ano de 2010, por meio de inquérito com os profissionais médicos e enfermeiros de 66 equipes da ESF de Maceió-AL, estratificadas por tempo de funcionamento em anos. Utilizou-se parte do instrumento de auto-avaliação denominado Avaliação para Melhoria da Qualidade da Estratégia Saúde da Família (AMQ) do Ministério da Saúde, especificamente as questões referentes às ações e atividades realizadas no campo de atenção à “saúde da criança”, dentro da dimensão “atenção à saúde”. Resultados: os padrões elementares de qualidade foram encontrados em 84,1% das ações realizadas. Os padrões considerados avançados apresentaram o menor percentual de conformidade entre todas as equipes (47,7%). Quanto ao tempo de implantação da ESF, as equipes com menos de quatro anos tenderam a relatar melhores padrões de qualidade. Conclusões: os achados sugerem que as ações de saúde da criança estão sendo realizadas em melhor conformidade nas equipes com menos tempo de implantação, e que a grande maioria das equipes ainda estão atendendo a padrões considerados menos avançados em termos de qualidade.

The Issue. Advocacy on behalf of children who are medically underserved and the pediatricians who care for them has been a long-standing core commitment of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Although different in etiology, barriers to adequate health care exist in both nations. In the United States, almost 18 million children have either no health insurance or inadequate coverage, whereas in the United Kingdom, parents can, in most cases, readily enroll their youngsters in a universal health insurance program that is not dependent on employers or employment.1 However, despite universal access to health care in the United Kingdom, as in the United States, there are infants and children who do not regularly use or otherwise connect to available health care delivery systems. Many of these families are not participants in other social systems (eg, church, school, voting, employment, property ownership/rental) and therefore are not known to governments, agencies, authorities, or health care professionals. Both nations have citizens living in extreme poverty with its associated environmental and health hazards and tendencies to health risk behaviors. Both the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health and the American Academy of Pediatrics have strategies and programs to address these issues and to support pediatricians who work in their communities to improve the lives of children. The following describes the American Academy of Pediatrics Community Access to Child Health infrastructure that supports practicing community pediatricians in these efforts and opportunities to develop collaborative international endeavors to advance the practice of community pediatrics.
