Children's Access to Primary Care Practitioners Children Ages 25 months through 6 Years
This measure describes children ages 25 months through 6 years who were continuously enrolled during 2009, and had a visit with a primary care provider during the measurement year.
Why is this important?
Children who see their doctor every year are usually healthier than children who do not have a regular doctor. These children are more likely to:
- Receive needed shots that prevent disease;
- Get care for illnesses such as ear infections and asthma;
- Get preventative care to keep them well;
- Get sick less often; and
- Get the treatment they need when they are sick.
