Healthcare resource allocation decisions affecting uninsured services.
The authors described resource allocation and policy decisions related to providing health services for the uninsured. They recommend that how healthcare decisions are actually made can be matched with literature that describes how healthcare resource decisions ought to be made, in order to provide a normative grounding for future decisions.

Practice-based research networks (PBRNs) bridging the gaps between communities, funders, and policymakers.
In this commentary, the authors propose that practice-based research networks (PBRNs) engage with funders and policymakers by applying the same engagement strategies they have successfully used to build relationships with community stakeholders. A community engagement approach to achieve new funding streams for PBRNs should include a strategy to engage key stakeholders from the communities of funders, thought leaders, and policymakers using collaborative principles and methods.

Determinants of health and pediatric primary care practices.
This article describes how care structures and processes can be altered in ways that align with the needs of families living in poverty. It also illustrate how such a roadmap can be adapted by practices depending on the degree of patient need and the availability of practice resources devoted to intervening on the social determinants of health.
