title: Family-centered care: the time has come.
abstract: The concept of family-centered care was first introduced in 1987. Since that time, legislation has mandated its implementation, training materials have been developed, and it has come to be considered "best practice." It is time now for pediatric nurses to learn strategies for implementation of family-centered care.
