A pilot study describing access to emergency care in two states using a model emergency care categorization system.
To improve regionalization of care and patient decisions when seeking emergency care, the researchers surveyed emergency departments (EDs) in 2 States. They found that 25 percent provided advanced care, 10.5 percent comprehensive care, and 1.6 percent pediatric critical care. Overall, 75.1 percent of the population could reach advanced or comprehensive ED within 60 minutes by ground transportation.

Access to preventive health care for cancer survivors.
The researchers evaluated the association between cancer survivorship and access to primary and preventive health care. They concluded that, although access and preventive care use in cancer survivors is generally equivalent or greater compared to that of other individuals, disparities for uninsured and publicly insured cancer survivors aged 18-64 years suggest that improvements in survivor care are needed.

The impact of the Great Recession on untreated dental caries among kindergarten students in North Carolina.
This study to determine the impact of the Great Recession on untreated dental caries in kindergarten-aged children in North Carolina found there were a higher proportion of children with more than one untreated decayed primary tooth as well as fewer children receiving dental treatment after 2006. The study covering 7 school years from 2003 to 2010 and 1,215 schools used increased participation in the National School Lunch Program as an indicator of the Great Recession.

Health information technology and mental health services research: a path forward.
This article reports on the AHRQ- and NIMH-organized November 2010 workshop, “Health Information Technology and Mental Health: The Way Forward.” The primary workshop goal was to bring together experts in mental health services and interventions research, practitioners, consumers, and technologists to discuss emerging opportunities in uniting all aspects of health IT and mental health research. The workshop resulted in a four-paper series, envisioning a future mental health system in which health IT is fully integrated within mental health service systems, for patient, clinician, and system levels.

Health status and health care experiences among homeless patients in federally supported health centers: findings from the 2009 patient survey.
This study examined health status and health care experiences of homeless patients in health centers and compared them to nonhomeless counterparts. It found that homeless patients had worse health status (chronic conditions, mental health problems, and substance abuse) compared with housed respondents. They were also twice as likely to have unmet medical needs in the past year.
