Access to medical care for rural environments provide unique challenges. Often there is a shortage of medical personnel in rural areas, as well as transportation and care and a growing range of financial instability of rural health care issues.
Since the mid-twentieth century, doctors have encouraged in rural areas and suburban hospitals. Lucrative practice doctors often have to pay the debt of higher education, and diagnosis and treatment were to be trained to use expensive new technology. Practice in rural areas typically generate less revenue for the physician and less resources and more technology in urban and suburban areas. Modern medical graduates rarely practiced in rural areas are good for preparation. Consequently, a chronic shortage of doctors in rural communities suffer from.
Most of the shortage of physicians, primary prevention, diagnosis and treatment are clear. Public health system and often span a range of alternative providers PrimaryCare. Primary care nurse practitioners, physician assistants or nurses at home can be provided. Homes or a central place in public or subsidized charity integral primary care, mobile clinics and clear away the homes of patients, clinical services (such as prenatal care, family planning, immunization) are. Medical specialty services (such as psychiatry or dermatology), the Health Department, such as churches and schools may be available through local clinics intermittent services.
Advances in medical technology, rising costs and market forces, many rural health systems contribute to economic instability. Small rural health care providers, especially hospitals, equipment and personnel necessary to treat the full range of modern illnesses and injuries can not. Coronary bypass surgery, artery repair, advanced trauma treatment and other complex medical procedures require equipment and facilities. These resources with a large volume of patients in hospitals and surgical centers are only economical. As a result, rural residents often long and complex levels of care and must travel more expensive.
Access to urban medical centers in complex care, the rural hospital patients often leads to the perception of low quality. People with financial resources and ability to travel to distant cities to reduce the complicated to the requirements.None of these people enough to generate the reimbursement of the cost of services. Many rural hospitals and providers to increase revenues in order to be varied. However, this strategy often, and no hospital should be eliminated. The conclusion of the same age, disabled and poor have no access to hospital care, emergency or urgent care and access to the entire community is left without. In the field has suffered significant job.
Increase the cost of the fighting, public and private insurance companies to control their spending. Rates or at least include the estimated cost of providing each service scales of fees for services. Of cost control in most rural health systems, home or mobile services, especially the influence. Services or accommodations to patients because of the distance between points, often many times the cost per unit of service is higher than urban areas. For example, an urban housing in the five patients in a morning visit to a home health nurse, a nurse can visit in a rural setting, only one or two patients, most of the time spent traveling. Nurses visited the city for rural nurses and five for two persons, but the same time will be reimbursed. Services in rural areas should be in the house, because of public donations or grants in order to remain economically viable.
