Issue Brief (Grantmakers Health). 2008 Feb(30):i-iii, 1-27.
Grantmakers have long been interested in improving children's access to health care. Yet, a number of services critical to children's healthy growth and development--such as mental health and oral health services--fall outside the traditional primary care model. This fragmentation of services has contributed to access barriers and has compromised the quality of pediatric care. Growing awareness of the importance of mental health and oral health has resulted in a variety of innovative efforts to integrate these services into children's health care.
长期以来，资助机构一直致力于改善儿童获得医疗保健的机会。然而，一些对儿童健康成长和发育至关重要的服务——如心理健康和口腔健康服务——却不属于传统的初级保健模式。这种服务的碎片化导致了获取障碍，并损害了儿科护理的质量。对心理健康和口腔健康重要性的认识不断提高，促使人们做出各种创新努力，将这些服务纳入儿童医疗保健之中。
