Accessibility refers to both financial and geographic access; continuous indicates that the care is ongoing with consistent care providers; coordination refers to the need for communication among health professionals to provide for the needs of the child. A medical home or pediatric healthcare home is therefore the site of comprehensive health care by a pediatric healthcare professional to ensure optimal health. The following six concepts should be integrated into care for children to promote health and prevent disease and injury: build effective partnerships with families. A partner-ship is a relationship in which participants join together to ensure healthcare delivery in a way that recognizes the critical roles and contributions of each partner in promoting health and preventing illness.
