The quest for constraint of health care costs has combined with the quest for better distribution of specialized child health services to emphasize the need for facility planning that considers the needs and resources of an entire region. This article describes the guidelines derived through one such planning effort and the process through which they were derived. The process can, we believe, be replicated or modified for planning pediatric hospital facilities or other health care facilities in other regions of the country.
对医疗保健成本控制的追求，与对更合理分配专业儿童健康服务的追求相结合，凸显了进行设施规划的必要性，这种规划要考虑到整个地区的需求和资源。本文介绍了通过这样一项规划工作得出的指导方针以及得出这些方针的过程。我们认为，这个过程可以在该国其他地区用于规划儿科医院设施或其他医疗保健设施时进行复制或修改。
