How do I assess the care of children with major medical problems?

?Hope this helps.

Thanks for your detailed answer!

All children with chronic health problems must have an identified source of primary medical care. To assess whether the care provided is adequate, the worker must first be aware of the needs of the child. Talking with the child's primary care provider will help get a better understanding of the child's condition, needs, and treatment as well as impressions of how the family is coping. The family's perception of the situation can then be assessed. Identifying barriers to care helps guide appropriate intervention.
