Access and quality in child health services: voltage drops

Abstract:
Children require a health care system that promotes healthy development for all children while reaching out to the neediest. Barriers to care have been described as "voltage drops"-resistance points at which patients drop from the system like voltage from an electrical current. We examine the size and nature of these drops, ranging from insurance access to service quality, with respect to children. We find critical policy needs (such as expanded insurance opportunities, increased care coordination, and improved quality measurement) at all system levels. Comprehensive access to insurance and services does not guarantee that children will receive high-quality (safe and effective) care.

Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Attenuation
When constant series resistance and shunt conductance are present, voltage and current equations are modified. The propagation constant indicates that voltage and current waves consist of both forward and backward traveling components. These waves attenuate as they propagate, with the attenuation factor related to the resistance and conductance. In a...
