1Department of Nursing, North Georgia College and State University, Dahlonega 30143, USA.
Abstract:
The need for health care reform in this country continues to be high on the public agenda. Deficits in the access of United States citizens to needed health care services continues, despite recent efforts at health care reform. In addition, the health status of children in this country is of paramount concern. Significant threats to the health of this nation's children have spurred several proposals for reducing the cost of health care while improving the quality of outcomes. A sample of these proposals is analyzed. An example of a health care program which exemplifies one such proposal for health care reform is then discussed. Findings of a recent research project that is relative to the benefits of such a program are provided.
