title: Going outside the box: finding new ways to provide quality care to children and adolescents.
abstract: When it comes to providing better health care for children and teens, sometimes the health care system need to go outside the box and consider cutting across other settings such as schools, homes, and community organizations. This means that health care leaders need to keep goals in mind--to incorporate more approaches such as talking to teens about issues such as safe sex, smoking, or drinking or to improve ways to provide appropriate care at opportune times.
