The health of 900 children in foster care was assessed through a review of 257 medical charts and an examination of a subsample of 35 children. Although major handicapping conditions among the children were well cared for, prevention, the care of minor conditions and emotional problems, and overall coordination of care were found to be lacking. On the basis of these findings, the authors propose how health care delivery to foster children can be improved.
通过查阅257份病历并对35名儿童的子样本进行检查，对900名寄养儿童的健康状况进行了评估。尽管这些儿童中的主要残疾状况得到了妥善照料，但仍发现预防、小病和情感问题的护理以及整体护理协调存在不足。基于这些发现，作者提出了如何改善为寄养儿童提供医疗服务的建议。
