Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - In 1997, the Maternal Child Health Bureau adopted the term children with special healthcare needs (CSHCN) to identify children who have, or are at risk of having, a chronic physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional condition that requires health and related services of a type or amount beyond that generally required by children. The prevalence of CSHCN ranges from 12% to 19%. Children with special healthcare needs use more resources and have greater unmet healthcare needs (both primary and specialty care), higher costs, and inadequate insurance. Compared to those without special healthcare needs, there is an increase in healthcare costs borne by families of CSHCN, particularly those who have private insurance. Among CSHCN, poor and minority children are at higher risk for inadequate insurance, as are children with higher levels of functional disability.
