Telehealth has the potential to improve quality of care, particularly deficiencies related to access and patient experience of care. Telehealth may also reduce disparities for children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) by alleviating barriers to accessing in-person care, for example, making it easier to access care for those residing in rural areas and children with medical complexity who are particularly fragile. Authors review the current knowledge around telehealth, identify populations for whom telehealth could be especially beneficial, discuss the important gaps identified, and make recommendations for specific studies that will help move the field forward.
This executive summary introduces the National Research Agenda on Health Systems for Children and Youth With Special Health Care Needs, a supplement to Academic Pediatrics.

Researchers worked with family caregivers to incorporate their expertise on caregiving and lay a better foundation for successful integration between health care settings, family caregiving, and community supports for families of children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN). This article identifies high-priority gaps in CYSHCN caregiving research and proposes research questions that could increase the evidence-base for understanding of the work of family caregivers and how best to support them.
