Abstract
In response to the national strategic policy on promoting the development of infant and toddler care services, and to accelerate the establishment of a scientific, standardized, and practical medical-nurturing integrated care service system, the Infant and Toddler Nurturing and Care Professional Committee of the Chinese Maternal and Child Health Association has organized experts from multiple fields including medical care and nurturing care to formulate this consensus. The consensus clarifies the core connotation of the medical-nurturing integration, elaborates on the requirements in terms of personnel capabilities, service processes, content integration, and environmental creation, defines the specific responsibilities and collaborative paths of medical institutions in health protection, development promotion, risk management, and empowerment guidance, as well as those of childcare institutions in daily care, health observation, learning support, and home-toddler care integration. It also proposes differentiated implementation strategies for four scenarios: childcare, medical care, community, and family, as well as five service models including on-site, paired, centralized,one-stop and intelligent type services. Moreover, it presents an assessment system covering three dimensions: infant and toddler health and development, institutional care quality, and family satisfaction, providing guidance and reference for the implementation of medical-nurturing integrated infant and toddler care services.
