A Call to Action for Care Coordination Research and Pediatric Implementation Science

This article is a call for pediatric nurse researchers to lead, participate in, and disseminate care coordination research and implementation science. This challenge is issued because of aging population demographics, resource scarcity, and the need for evidence-based child health policy advocacy. It is not news that the burgeoning needs of the elderly population can easily cause children to be pushed off the priority list for research funding. What may be news is the urgent need for nurse scholars to continue to pursue pediatric quality measurement and outcomes research and to engage in visible, high-impact child-focused implementation science studies to shape evolving health systems with solid evidence.
