Why is the Integration of Health and Transportation Services Important in Pediatrics?
The integration of health and transportation services in pediatrics is critical for ensuring that children have timely access to healthcare. Many families face barriers such as lack of reliable transportation, especially in rural or underserved areas. This can lead to missed appointments and delayed medical care, ultimately affecting a child's health outcomes. By facilitating better coordination between healthcare providers and transportation services, we can improve access to medical care, reduce missed appointments, and enhance overall health outcomes for children.
