Download or read book Rural Physician Shortages and Policy Intervention written by Amrita Kulka and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although fourteen percent of the U.S. population lives in rural areas, only ten percent of primary care physicians practice medicine there; populations in areas with physician shortages have measurably worse health outcomes. We analyze the effects of incentive programs intended to eliminate physician shortages. Using a differences-in-differences approach, we estimate that student loan forgiveness programs cause an increase of three physicians per rural county. We then estimate a model of physician location decisions and find that physicians are unresponsive to differences in compensation and prefer to live in their home state. Consequently, current programs are too small to eliminate shortages.
Download or read book The Rural Healthcare Shortage in the United States written by Madison Nutter and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is facing a major healthcare shortage in rural areas. One-fifth of the U.S. population lives in a rural area and over 75 percent of those are deemed to be in a healthcare professional shortage (McEllistrem-Evenson, 2011). More physicians in particular are needed in rural areas. Currently, the primary needs of the rural areas are family medicine and primary care physicians. However, less medical school students are interested in family medicine than ever before. Rural physicians face additional challenges such that they see more patients than urban physicians, work more hours, and are on-call more often. Despite these challenges, rural physicians receive approximately the same compensation as physicians working in urban areas (Hart, Lishner, & Rosenblatt, 2005). The patient population in that the rural population tends to be more ill, have worse access to healthcare, are more likely to be in poverty, and typically pursue less education than those living in urban areas (American Academy of Family Physicians, 2015). If these issues go unaddressed, rural people will continue to struggle to receive the adequate healthcare that they deserve and need.
Download or read book Factors Influencing Health Care Access in Rural Health Professional Shortage Areas written by Mary S. Savitsky and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Access to healthcare is a continuing problem, particularly in rural America. The rising costs of care, the resistance of physician providers to enter primary care medicine or enter practice in isolated settings, the emphasis on curative rather than preventive medicine, restrictions by third party payers, and state practice laws are all factors influencing the access problem in rural America. The providers of care in this country are not all physicians; many are classified as physician extenders. Both physicians and physician extenders tend to choose employment in settings similar to the sites where they receive their clinical training. This may indicate that states without education programs may be at an immediate disadvantage in the struggle to meet primary care health needs. Physician Assistants (PA) are limited in the scope of their practice by state laws which restrict their functionality in healthcare delivery. These laws also impose access barriers by limiting PA availability in sites and facilities which also lack physicians. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between states' enabling legislation for one category of physician extender, the Physician Assistant (PA), and four independent variables; prescribing authority, dispensing authority, satellite practice authority, and the presence of a PA educational program (school) in the state. The dependent variable, proactivity, will be the degree of state health professional shortage areas (HPSAs). may assist states with severe rural health manpower shortages in developing a viable plan for meeting the primary care health needs of their communities.

Book excerpt: Our market-based, profit-driven health care system in the United States has put necessary care increasingly beyond the reach of ordinary Americans. Primary health care, the fundamental foundation of all high-performing health care systems in the world, is a critical but ignored casualty of the current system. Unfortunately, primary care is often poorly understood, even within the health professions. This book describes what has become a crisis in primary care, defines its central role, analyzes the reasons for its decline, and assesses its impacts on patients and families. A constructive approach is presented to rebuild and transform U.S. primary care with the urgent goal to address the nation's problems of access, cost, quality and equity of health care for all Americans.

The first panel of the workshop, with four speakers representing leaders in rural health care, examined national policies regarding the education of health professionals and the barriers to improvements. The panel emphasized personal sacrifices of rural health professionals, the need for professional support, medical students specialty choices, financial support for family medicine programs and primary care services, and improvement of rural manpower distribution. The second panel, consisting of five speakers, presented information on specific exemplary model programs that link medical education and training to rural areas. The appendix includes information about educational and community programs that address the health care needs of rural areas, articles addressing medical education reform, and written testimonies from various sources.
