Primary care: We need all the help we can get!

[摘要] Primary care has finally been defined to the satisfaction of almost everyone and educational programs to prepare physicians to provide primary care to children have emerged in response to reason, demand, and dictum.1-3 Questions now arise as to who should provide the bulk of that care and how it can best be organized to ensure that the health care needs of all of our children are met. The politics of primary pediatric care begin then to occupy more of our thought and discussion.Dodds has reviewed the politics involved at all levels of pediatric care but speaks mostly to the conflicts that exist between general practitioners and pediatricians in the delivery of primary care.4
