Expect delays: poor connections between rural and urban health systems challenge
Rural Americans with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) face a 50% increased risk of major amputation compared to their urban counterparts. In this study, the investigators sought to identify health system barriers contributing to this disparity. The investigators concluded that poor connections across rural and urban healthcare systems were described as the primary health system barrier driving the rural disparity in major amputations.
