Race/Ethnicity and Health Care Communication
BACKGROUND: Although many minority patients would prefer a provider of their own race/ethnicity, the influence of this relationship on patient-provider communication remains unknown. This analysis examined the effect of patient-provider race/ethnicity concordance on patient-reported provider communication quality using data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey years 2002-2012. METHODS: Ordinary least squares regressions were executed on comm…

Measuring patients’ perceptions of communication with healthcare providers
Background National governments across the globe have set goals to improve healthcare delivery. Understanding patient–provider communication is essential for the development of policies that measure how well a healthcare system delivers care. Objectives This study was designed to determine which, if any, demographic factors were independently associated with how US patients perceive various aspects of communication with their healthcare providers…
Language Preference and Perceptions of Healthcare Providers’ Communication and Autonomy Making Behaviors among Hispanics
The Health Impact of Resolving Racial Disparities
The US health system spends far more on the “technology” of care (e.g., drugs, devices) than on achieving equity in its delivery. For 1991 to 2000, we contrasted the number of lives saved by medical advances with the number of deaths attributable to excess mortality among African Americans. Medical advances averted 176 633 deaths, but equalizing the mortality rates of Whites and African Americans would have averted 886202 deaths. Achieving equity…

Congruent Satisfaction
CONTEXT: Satisfaction among both physicians and patients is optimal for the delivery of high-quality healthcare. Although some links have been drawn between physician and patient satisfaction, little is known about the degree of satisfaction congruence among physicians and patients living and working in geographic proximity to each other. OBJECTIVE: We sought to identify patients and physicians from similar geographic sites and to examine how clo…
National Health Service Corps Staffing and the Growth of the Local Rural Non‐NHSC Primary Care Physician Workforce
Context: Beyond providing temporary staffing, National Health Service Corps (NHSC) clinicians are believed by some observers to contribute to the long‐term growth of the non‐NHSC physician workforce of the communities where they serve; others worry that NHSC clinicians compete with and impede the supply of other local physicians. Purpose: To assess long‐term changes in the non‐NHSC primary care physician workforce of rural underserved counties th…
What If We Were Equal? A Comparison Of The Black-White Mortality Gap In 1960 And 2000
The United States has made progress in decreasing the black-white gap in civil rights, housing, education, and income since 1960, but health inequalities persist. We examined trends in black-white standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) for each age-sex group from 1960 to 2000. The black-white gap measured by SMR changed very little between 1960 and 2000 and actually worsened for infants and for African American men age thirty-five and older. In con…
Changes in Age-Adjusted Mortality Rates and Disparities for Rural Physician Shortage Areas Staffed by the National Health Service Corps
OBJECTIVE: This study assesses whether the National Health Service Corps's legislated goals to see health improve and health disparities lessen are being met in rural health professional shortage areas for a key population health indicator: age-adjusted mortality. METHODS: In a descriptive study using a pre-post design with comparison groups, the authors calculated age-adjusted mortality rates at baseline (1981-1983) and follow-up (1996-1998) for…
Receipt of Preventive Care Among Adults
Objectives. This study ascertained the separate and combined effects of having insurance and a usual source of care on receiving preventive services. Methods. Descriptive and multivariate analyses of 1996 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey data were conducted. Results. Receipt of preventive services was strongly associated with insurance and a usual source of care. Significant differences were found between insured adults with a usual source of car…
The Effects of Physician In‐migration to Rural Colorado (1992 to 1995)
This paper reports the results of an analysis of the American Medical Association Masterfile. The purpose of this study was to examine changes in health care accessibility in rural Colorado from 1992 to 1995, and to describe the pattern of in‐migration of physicians to nonmetropolitan statistical area counties of the state during that period. The number of direct patient care providers increased from 532 to 700 (31.6%) during the three‐year perio…
Geographic Benefit from Decentralized Medical Education
The performance of area health education center (AHEC)‐stimulated programs and decentralized education for medicine is not well understood. The Statewide Education Activities for Rural Colorado's Health (SEARCW/AHEC project at the University of Colorado School of Medicine was examined to determine if the program had an effect on the practice location of its graduates. Practice location and specialty of graduates of the University of Colorado Scho…
The United States medical profession
During the last century, the US medical profession, once dominated by general practitioners, has been transformed into a body of highly specialised physicians. Sweeping technological advances have fueled this evolution in which broadly trained primary care physicians who provide relatively inexpensive comprehensive medical care have become a professional minority. This country's specialty-oriented system of medical education has produced far more…
Detecting and Reporting Child Abuse
This paper reports the results of a regression analysis performed on 48, 499 reports of known or suspected child abuse submitted from 1974 through 1983 to the Colorado Department of Social Services Central Child Abuse Registry. Enrollments in human service programs, combined with events which precipitate enrollee use of services, and the presence of human service professionals and institutions are strongly related to the number of abuse cases rep…
