Health system integration and cancer center access for rural hospitals.
This study’s goal was to assess health system integration and cancer center access for rural hospitals. The authors compared health systems with and without cancer centers based on rural hospital presence. They found that 90% of cancer centers are in a health system, and 72% of health systems (434/607) have a cancer center. Larger health systems with more trainees more often have cancer centers but are no more likely to include rural hospitals (11% vs 6%). The minority of cancer centers not in health systems (N = 95) more often serve low complexity patient populations in non-metropolitan areas.

Adolescent residential addiction treatment in the US: uneven access, waitlists, and high costs.
This study examined adolescent residential addiction treatment facilities in the United States, and their accessibility and cost. The authors used the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's treatment locator and search engine advertising data to identify 160 residential addiction treatment facilities that treated adolescents with opioid use disorder as of December 2022. They called facilities while role-playing as the aunt or uncle of a sixteen-year-old child with a recent nonfatal overdose to inquire about policies and costs. A little over half (54.5%) had a bed immediately available. The mean wait time for a bed was 28.4 days among sites with a waitlist. Of the facilities that provided cost information, the mean cost of treatment per day was $878, with daily costs among for-profit facilities triple of nonprofit facilities. Half of facilities required up-front payments by noninsured patients, with a mean up-front cost of $28,731. They were unable to identify any facilities for adolescents in ten states or Washington, D.C.

Availability and accessibility of mental health services for youth: a descriptive survey of safety-net health centers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The goal of this study was to assess the availability of outpatient mental health services for children and adolescents at safety-net health centers in a large metropolitan county. A comprehensive sample of Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs) and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) received a 5-minute survey approximately one year after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The response indicated that 10% of health centers had closed and 20% reported that they were not offering outpatient mental health services. Reported wait times were longer at CMHCs than FQHCs. The author concluded that these findings suggested that online directories such as the SAMHSA Treatment Locator are often inaccurate or out-of-date.

Infant health care disruptions by race and ethnicity, income, and insurance during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This cross-sectional study examined the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on infant health care, and broke it down by race and ethnicity, income, and insurance type. This study used the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System COVID-19 supplement with data from 29 jurisdictions to examine infant health care disruptions due to the pandemic: 1) well visits/checkups canceled or delayed, 2) well visits/checkups changed to virtual appointments, and 3) postponed immunizations. The authors found that among 12,053 parental respondents with infants born from April to December 2020, 7.25% reported cancelations or delays in infant well visits/checkups, 5.49% reported changes to virtual infant care appointments, and 5.33% reported postponing immunizations, with significant differences by race and ethnicity, income, and insurance type. They found higher odds of canceling/delaying visits and postponing immunizations among non-Hispanic Black infants and infants whose parents were uninsured or had Medicaid-paid deliveries. The odds of switching to virtual appointments was also significantly higher among Hispanic infants and infants whose parents had Medicaid-paid deliveries.

Sex-based disparities in access to liver transplantation for waitlisted patients with model for end-stage liver disease score of 40.
The objective of this study was to determine association of sex with access to liver transplantation among candidates with the highest possible model for end-stage liver disease score (MELD 40). Using national transplant registry data, researchers compared liver offer acceptance and waitlist outcomes by sex for waitlisted liver transplant candidates who reached MELD 40. Results showed that even among candidates with high disease severity and equally high MELD scores, women have reduced access to liver transplantation and worse outcomes compared with men. The researchers concluded that policies addressing this disparity should consider factors beyond MELD score adjustments.

Barriers and strategies used to continue school-based health services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This study examined perceived barriers and strategies adopted to continue the delivery of school-based health services when schools reopened in Fall of 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic and to assess whether these barriers and strategies varied by locality. The authors developed and subsequently conducted an online survey of school nurses who worked at the 1178 public elementary schools in Virginia in May 2021 to describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the delivery of school-based health services. They compared perceived barriers, strategies adopted and the effectiveness of strategies to continue the delivery of school-based health services by geographic locality (city vs. rural; suburban vs. rural and city vs. suburban). More than half of urban schools expected nine of ten potential barriers to affect the delivery of school-based health services during Fall 2021. More than half of responding schools located in urban, suburban, and rural areas indicated that external barriers outside of their control, including insufficient funding and families not able to bring students to school, were likely to be barriers to delivering care. There was no variation in strategies identified as “very effective” by locality.

Experiences of Latinos with limited English proficiency with patient registration systems and their interactions with clinic front office staff: an exploratory study to inform community-based translational research in North Carolina.
This study explored Latino patients with limited English proficiency (LEP) experiences with, and expectations for, interactions with patient registration systems and front office staff. It found that Latino patients in North Carolina experienced health services barriers unique to their LEP background. Participants identified ways in which the lack of cultural and linguistic competence of front office staff negatively affect their experiences seeking health services.

Disparities in time spent seeking medical care in the United States.
The researchers assessed how time associated with medical visits varied across socioeconomic variables and visit characteristics. They determined that patients spent on average 123 minutes obtaining medical care, including 86 minutes of clinic time and 38 minutes travel time. Clinic time was significantly longer for racial/ethnic minorities, individuals with less education, and unemployed individuals.

Do Medicaid benefit expansions have teeth? The effect of Medicaid adult dental coverage on the use of dental services and oral health.
This article examines the effect of Medicaid adult dental coverage on use of dental care and dental health outcomes using state-level variation in dental coverage during 2000-2012. Its findings imply that dental coverage is associated with an increase in the likelihood of a recent dental visit, with the size of the effect increasing with Medicaid payment rates to dentists, and a reduction in the likelihood of untreated dental caries.

Healthcare expenditure burden among non-elderly cancer survivors, 2008-2012.
This study presented nationally representative estimates of annual out-of-pocket (OOP) burden among non-elderly cancer survivors and assessed the association between high OOP burden and access to care and preventive service utilization. It found that, among cancer survivors, high OOP burden was associated with being unable to obtain necessary medical care, delaying necessary medical care, and lower breast cancer screening rates among women.

The impact of hospital closures and hospital and population characteristics on increasing emergency department volume: a geographic analysis.
The objective of this study was to test the association of hospital and population characteristics and the effect of hospital closures with increases in emergency department volume. Emergency volume increased nearly twice as fast at tertiary referral centers (4.8 percent) and nonurban hospitals (3.7 percent versus urban at 2.1 percent) after adjusting for other characteristics. The effect of hospital closures also strongly predicted variation in growth.

Cross-sectional survey of California childbirth hospitals: implications for defining maternal levels of risk-appropriate care.
The researchers examined the extent to which hospitals could be classified by increasingly sophisticated maternal levels of care. They concluded that childbirth services varied widely across California hospitals, and most hospitals did not fit easily into proposed levels. Cognizance of this existing variation is critical to determining the optimal configuration of services for basic, intermediate, and regional maternal levels of care.

Does "difficult patient" status contribute to de facto demedicalization? The case of borderline personality disorder.
This study relies on 22 in-depth interviews with mental health clinicians in the United States to evaluate how they describe patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD), how the diagnosis of BPD affects the treatment clinicians are willing to provide, and the implications for patients. Its findings suggest patients with BPD are routinely labeled “difficult,” and subsequently routed out of care through a variety of direct and indirect means.

Total direct medical expenses and characteristics of privately insured adolescents who incur high costs.
This study assessed health care expenditures for high-cost adolescents and described the patient characteristics associated with high medical costs. It concluded that total direct medical expenses for privately insured high-cost adolescents are associated with medical complexity, mental health conditions, and obesity. Cost reduction strategies in similar populations should be tailored to these cost drivers.

On the outskirts of national health reform: a comparative assessment of health insurance and access to care in Puerto Rico and the United States.
This article presents an overview of Puerto Rico’s health care system and a comparative analysis of coverage and access to care in Puerto Rico and the mainland United States. It found that uninsured rates were significantly lower in Puerto Rico;. Medicaid was far more common in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rican residents were more likely than those in the mainland United States to have a usual source of care and to have had a checkup within the past year.

Coverage and care consequences for families in which children have mixed eligibility for public insurance.
The researchers used data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) Household Component for 2001–12 to examine insurance coverage, access to care, and health care use for eligible children in families with mixed eligible siblings compared to those in families where all siblings were eligible for one program. They found that mixed eligibility has a significant dampening effect for eligible children.

Improving geographic equity in kidney transplantation using alternative kidney sharing and optimization modeling.
The authors analyzed current kidney allocation and developed an alternative kidney sharing strategy using a multiperiod linear optimization model, KSHARE, which aims to improve geographic equity in kidney transplantation while also respecting transplant system constraints and priorities. They used Organ Procurement and Transplant Network data to determine that enhancing the practice of sharing kidneys by the KSHARE model may increase geographic equity in kidney transplantation.
