How Many Rural Doctors Do We Have
The number of physicians practicing in the nonmetropolitan areas of the United States in relation to population has increased over the past two decades, but more slowly than the number of physicians in metropolitan counties. During the same period, there was a growing acceptance of the perception that the physician workforce in the United States exceeded the number necessary to meet the requirements of an efficient health care system. This has ca…
Interspecialty differences in the obstetric care of low-risk women
OBJECTIVES: This study examined differences among obstetricians, family physicians, and certified nurse-midwives in the patterns of obstetric care provided to low-risk patients. METHODS: For a random sample of Washington State obstetrician-gynecologists, family physicians, and certified nurse-midwives, records of a random sample of their low-risk patients beginning care between September 1, 1988, and August 31, 1989, were abstracted. RESULTS: Cer…
Rural Hospital Inpatient Surgical Volume
Surgical services are an important part of modern health care, but providing them to isolated rural citizens is especially difficult. Public policy initiatives could influence the supply, training, and distribution of surgeons, much as they have for rural primary care providers. However, so little is known about the proper distribution of surgeons, their contribution to rural health care, and the safety of rural surgery that policy cannot be shap…
Market Shares for Rural Inpatient Surgical Services
Utilization of surgical services by rural citizens is poorly understood, and few data are available about rural hospitals’surgical market shares and their financial implications. Understanding these issues is particularly important in an era of financially stressed rural hospitals. In this study information about rural surgical providers and services was obtained through telephone interviews with administrators at Washington state's 42 rural hosp…
Causes and Consequences of Rural Small Hospital Closures from the Perspectives of Mayors
Mayors of rural towns whose small general hospitals closed between 1980 and 1988 were surveyed. Only hospitals that were the sole hospitals in their towns and that had not reopened were included in the survey. Of the 132 hospitals meeting these criteria, 130 (98.5%) of the mayors of their communities responded to the survey. The typical study hospital had 31 beds, with an average daily census of 12. Three fourths of the hospital closures were in …
