The article describes Project Concern, a unique, managed care program of direct assistance for low income, pediatric, asthmatic patients. In cooperation with the St. Louis Chapter, Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, the program was developed by a hospital social worker in response to a need for cost-effective, coordinated care to a high-risk population. As a result of the success of Project Concern, it is suggested that this model be used for other chronic illness where there is a lack of resources for patients and families who have specialized health care needs.
本文介绍了“关爱项目”，这是一个为低收入哮喘患儿提供直接援助的独特的管理式医疗项目。该项目由一名医院社会工作者与美国哮喘与过敏基金会圣路易斯分会合作开展，旨在满足对高风险人群进行经济高效、协调护理的需求。鉴于“关爱项目”取得的成功，有人建议将该模式应用于其他慢性病，因为对于有特殊医疗需求的患者及其家庭而言，这些疾病缺乏相关资源。
