abstract: 'The United States pediatric population with chronic health conditions is
|
|
|
|
expanding. Currently, this demographic comprises 12-18\% of the American
|
|
|
|
child and youth population. Affected children often receive fragmented,
|
|
|
|
uncoordinated care. Overall, the American health care delivery system
|
|
|
|
produces modest outcomes for this population. Poor, uninsured and
|
|
|
|
minority children may be at increased risk for inferior coordination of
|
|
|
|
services. Further, the United States health care delivery system is
|
|
|
|
primarily organized for the diagnosis and treatment of acute conditions.
|
|
|
|
For pediatric patients with chronic health conditions, the typical acute
|
|
|
|
problem-oriented visit actually serves as a barrier to care. The
|
|
|
|
biomedical model of patient education prevails, characterized by
|
|
|
|
unilateral transfer of medical information. However, the evidence basis
|
|
|
|
for improvement in disease outcomes supports the use of the chronic care
|
|
|
|
model, initially proposed by Dr. Edward Wagner. Six inter-related
|
|
|
|
elements distinguish the success of the chronic care model, which
|
|
|
|
include self-management support and care coordination by a prepared,
|
|
|
|
proactive team.
|
|
|
|
United States health care lacks a coherent policy direction for the
|
|
|
|
management of high cost chronic conditions, including rheumatic
|
|
|
|
diseases. A fundamental restructure of United States health care
|
|
|
|
delivery must urgently occur which places the patient at the center of
|
|
|
|
care. For the pediatric rheumatology workforce, reimbursement policies
|
|
|
|
and the actions of health plans and insurers are consistent barriers to
|
|
|
|
chronic disease improvement. United States reimbursement policy and
|
|
|
|
overall fragmentation of health care services pose specific challenges
|
|
|
|
for widespread implementation of the chronic care model. Team-based
|
|
|
|
multidisciplinary care, care coordination and self-management are
|
|
|
|
integral to improve outcomes.
|
|
|
|
Pediatric rheumatology demand in the United States far exceeds available
|
|
|
|
workforce supply. This article reviews the career choice decision-making
|
|
|
|
process at each medical trainee level to determine best recruitment
|
|
|
|
strategies. Educational debt is an unexpectedly minor determinant for
|
|
|
|
pediatric residents and subspecialty fellows. A two-year fellowship
|
|
|
|
training option may retain the mandatory scholarship component and
|
|
|
|
attract an increasing number of candidate trainees. Diversity, work-life
|
|
|
|
balance, scheduling flexibility to accommodate part-time employment, and
|
|
|
|
reform of conditions for academic promotion all need to be addressed to
|
|
|
|
ensure future growth of the pediatric rheumatology workforce.'
