Rural Bypass of Critical Access Hospitals in Iowa
PURPOSE: Rural bypass for elective surgical procedures is a challenge for critical access hospitals, yet there are opportunities for rural hospitals to improve local retention of surgical candidates through alternative approaches to developing surgery lines of business. In this study we examine the effect of visiting surgical specialists on the odds of rural bypass. METHODS: Discharge data from the 2011 State Inpatient Databases and State Ambulat…
Surgical Patient Safety Outcomes in Critical Access Hospitals
PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to examine whether Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs), the predominant type of hospital in small and isolated rural areas, perform better than, the same as, or worse than Prospective Payment System (PPS) hospitals on measures of quality. METHODS: The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project State Inpatient Databases and American Hospital Association annual survey data were used for analyses. A total of 35,674 discha…
Rural Bypass for Elective Surgeries
PURPOSE: Rural bypass of Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) for elective inpatient and outpatient surgical procedures has not been studied. Residents choosing to have their elective surgeries elsewhere, when the local CAH provides those surgical services, erode their rural hospital's financial base. The purpose of this research is to describe the elective surgical bypass rate, the procedures most commonly bypassed by rural residents, the distributi…
Variation in Primary Care Service Patterns by Rural‐Urban Location
BACKGROUND: Rural communities have disproportionately faced primary care shortages for decades in spite of policy efforts to prepare and attract primary care health professionals to practice in rural locales. Insight into how primary care physicians' service patterns in rural areas differ from those in less rural places is important to better inform recruitment strategies that target primary care providers and rural communities. OBJECTIVES: The p…
A prospective cohort study of long-term cognitive changes in older Medicare beneficiaries
In addition to aging, age, minority status, and low education, substantial and differential risks for cognitive change were associated with sooner vs. later subsequent death that help to clarify the terminal drop hypothesis. No readily modifiable protective factors were identified
