摘要

The US Department of Health and Human Services called for comprehensive systems of services for children with special health care needs in its Healthy People 2000 and 2010 health care objectives for the nation. We report on the proportion of children with special health care needs receiving care in high-quality systems of services measured by attainment of 6 essential system elements, or quality indicators, generated from a survey of 40 723 families of children with special health care needs in 2005 to 2006. Only 17.7% of children with special health care needs received services in a high-quality service system that met all 6 quality indicators in 2005–2006. Therefore, much more work lies ahead to meet the national Healthy People objective for these children. Programs addressing the unique needs of children, particularly those at increased risk for or with special health care needs, have long been a component of the public health system. The Federal Children's Bureau, established in 1912, was the first government program to serve children with severe chronic conditions—then referred to as crippled children. That program was eventually transferred to the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) of the US Public Health Service in 1969. Today, Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) programs, supported through Title V of the Social Security Act, exist in every state, territory, and the District of Columbia. 1 Building on a foundation of initiatives by the US Surgeon General, 2 , 3 Congress used the 1989 Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act to direct state and federal Title V public health agencies to provide and promote family-centered, community-based, coordinated care … and facilitate the development of community-based systems of services … for children with special health care needs and their families. 4 Subsequently, the federal government called for comprehensive systems of services for children with special health care needs in its Healthy People 2000 and Healthy People 2010 health care objectives for the nation. 5 , 6 At the federal level, the definition of children with special health care needs was significantly broadened beyond “crippled children” in 1998 to include those children who have or are at increased risk for a chronic physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional condition and who also require health and related services of a type or amount beyond that required for children generally. 7 (p138) During 2005 to 2006, 13.9% (10.2 million) of US children younger than 18 years were estimated to have a special health care need. 8 This represents an increase in prevalence from the 2001 National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs (NS-CSHCN), which produced an estimate of 12.8%. Children with special health care needs are a heterogeneous population with a wide range of diagnoses and functional limitations. Their common denominator is an elevated need for services. Those service needs often must be met in multiple settings by a variety of professionals and service agencies. 8 Because children with special health care needs often require complex and long-term health services; consume a disproportionate share of health care dollars spent on children 9 ; are vulnerable to access, cost, quality, and coverage weaknesses in the health care system 10 – 12 ; experience disparities in accessing care 13 , 14 ; and constitute a sizeable minority of children, 8 it is important that public health agencies assess, monitor, and develop policies to protect and promote the well-being of this population of children and youths. Increasingly, Title V CSHCN programs have moved away from providing direct services to children with special health care needs toward a public health infrastructure-building approach to ensure a seamless system of services and access to care for children with special health care needs and their families. To provide direction and accountability, MCHB worked with state Title V agencies, families, and other stakeholders to develop and promulgate 6 key system building blocks, referred to as core outcomes or quality indicators, to describe what families should be able to expect from the service system: (1) family partnership in decision-making and satisfaction with care, (2) receipt of care through a medical home, (3) adequate health insurance, (4) early and continuous screening and surveillance, (5) services that are organized for ease of use, and (6) effective transition planning for adult health care. Together, these quality indicators represent the essential elements needed for high-quality systems of services. 15 , 16 Defining a high-quality system as one that meets all 6 quality indicators sets a high bar in that meeting all criteria requires that children receive care that is adequately financed, organized for easy use, an
