Disparities in self-reported access to patient-centered medical home care for children with special health care needs.
The purpose of this study was to examine variation in caregiver service experience concordant with care in patient-centered medical home (PCMH) over time and by the characteristics of separate groups of children with special health care needs (CSHCNs). Researchers used 2003-2012 Medical Expenditures Panel Survey data for CSHCNs for cross-sectional pooled data analysis. Their conclusions suggest that disparities remain among high-need CSHCNs. Future research that focuses on a better understanding of how clinical settings tailor this care model, particularly to provide increased access and patient-centered care, is recommended.

Health services research in rehabilitation and disability-the time is now.
In this Special Communication, the authors discuss the role of rehabilitation researchers in health services research (HSR). They also provide information on current resources available in our field for conducting HSR and identify gaps for capacity building and future research. Health care reforms are a reality, and through HSR, researchers can give rehabilitation a strong voice during these transformative times.
