Where this comes from

Abstract

Home health care is essential for children with chronic conditions and disabilities and children recovering from acute illness, injury, or surgery to ensure their daily health, function, and community participation. The American Academy of Pediatrics advocates for accessible, high-quality pediatric home health care by calling for development of pediatric-specific home health care regulations, eligibility guidance, and pediatric-focused metrics to facilitate high quality and access.
