Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Health Equity
  • Primary Care

Background:

  • Effective provider-patient relationships enhance care quality and address health equity gaps.
  • Limited research exists on the impact of racial and ethnic concordance in patient-provider relationships.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of patient-provider racial and ethnic concordance on missed appointments in a primary care setting.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of electronic medical records (EMR) from a Federally Qualified Healthcare Center (FQHC) in Texas.
  • Utilized mixed-effects multivariable logistic regression to analyze 76,658 appointments from 31,123 patients.
  • Examined predicted probabilities and average marginal effects of concordant versus non-concordant visits by race/ethnicity.

Racial

Main Results:

  • Patient-provider concordance occurred in 51% of appointments.
  • Adjusted models showed patient-provider concordance was associated with 5% lower odds of missed appointments.
  • Concordant visits demonstrated lower predicted probabilities of missed appointments across racial/ethnic groups.

Conclusions:

  • Racial/ethnic concordance between patients and providers is associated with a decreased likelihood of missed appointments.
  • Provider representation in healthcare settings is crucial for reducing appointment no-shows.
  • Improved clinic efficiency can result from increased patient-provider concordance.
