  • Title: Health care for children in foster care.
    Author: Bean A, Gamino L, Pierce P, Shropshire D, Wallace K.
    Journal: J Okla State Med Assoc; 2004 Sep; 97(9):360-3. PubMed ID: 15540570.
    Abstract:
    Every month 6,600 children in Oklahoma live under the custody of the state, most as result of being abused or neglected by their own families. The state provides medical care to these children via the Medicaid program. The American Academy of Pediatrics(AAP) has set forth a guideline for optimal care of these children. We discuss the current Oklahoma health care system for foster children and suggest changes that may move Oklahoma in the direction of the AAP recommendations. A more uniform, organized medical system may not only meet a foster child's medical needs but may also provide a degree of continuity to an otherwise discontinuous process.
