Geographic diffusion and implementation of acute care surgery: an uneven solution to the national emergency general surgery crisis.
Researchers investigated geographic diffusion of acute care surgery (ACS) models of care and characterized the communities in which ACS implementation is lagging. They found that acute care surgery implementation has not been uniform. Rural regions have limited ACS access, with hospitals in counties with greater than the 75th percentile population having 5.4 times higher odds of implementing ACS than hospitals in counties with less than 25th percentile population.
