| Abstract | This report discusses the results of a study that assessed the current system of health care for children with chronic conditions in a staff-model health maintenance organization (HealthPartners) setting. The project interviewed 35 parents of children with chronic conditions, completed a financial analysis of 410 children within eight categories of chronic conditions, and conducted a survey of HealthPartners physicians. The data indicate: (1) most families are satisfied with their child's pediatrician and overall health care; (2) while families appreciate the convenience of having a primary care clinic at the site where most medical care occurs, they report their pediatrician often does not have the time and knowledge to act as coordinator for the child's non-medical needs; (3) case management is often mentioned as a desired service by families and physicians; and (4) the majority of children receive physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech/language services from school, usually the school pays the costs for these services, and they are neither coordinated with nor reimbursed by HealthPartners. Recommendations are made for developing an integrated service system that promotes the overall health and well-being of children with chronic illness and disability, their families, and their communities.
