This editorial describes the purposes and content of the Special Issue for the development of a national pediatric pharmacotherapy collaborative practice network. A collaborative practice network from a population health perspective is needed to better manage the medication-related needs of children with special health care needs and medical complexity (CSHCN-CMC). Over the last 25 years, the pharmacy profession has been engaged in organized efforts both to elevate practice and educational standards for pediatric pharmacy practice and to design medication management systems that benefit children and their families and caregivers. Moreover, alignment with pediatric clinical pharmacologists will aid in the development of new practice-based research paradigms that can be applied in the clinical setting. Formalized multi-disciplinary collaboration (CPAs) with new approaches to specialized electronic medication systems and comprehensive medication management (CMM) is necessary to improve the pharmacotherapy outcomes of pediatric patients.
本社论描述了关于建立全国儿科药物治疗协作实践网络的特刊的目的和内容。从人群健康角度来看，需要一个协作实践网络来更好地管理有特殊医疗需求和医疗复杂性的儿童（CSHCN-CMC）与药物相关的需求。在过去25年里，药学专业一直在进行有组织的努力，以提高儿科药学实践的业务水平和教育标准，并设计有利于儿童及其家庭和照顾者的药物管理系统。此外，与儿科临床药理学家合作将有助于开发可应用于临床环境的基于实践的新研究范式。采用新方法进行专门的电子药物系统和综合药物管理（CMM）的正式多学科协作（CPA）对于改善儿科患者的药物治疗效果是必要的。
