Serving the pediatric population remains one of the most complex challenges in healthcare delivery. Children’s hospitals, pediatric programs, and physicians face economic uncertainties as the legal/regulatory landscape changes and healthcare payment and care delivery reforms begin to take shape. The Pediatric Business and Healthcare Delivery Series explores the most important business and structural challenges to pediatric healthcare delivery, as well as the complex, and often undiscussed, efforts made by pediatric providers and payors.
