Extending the Boundaries of Comprehensive Pediatric Care

Lawrence R. Berger, MD, MPH; Kathleen P. Samet, MSN, PNP

Am J Dis Child. 1981;135(9):812-814.

Abstract
• While the contribution of home visits to the care of chronically ill children and those in high-risk families has become increasingly recognized, their value in the provision of comprehensive primary pediatric care has been neglected. Visits to children's homes can be a valuable tool to assess the child's environment, observe the child in his or her own world, establish rapport with families, and determine family function and dynamics.
