まとめ
メディケイドの登録者向けのプライマリケア・プロバイダ・パネルは 地域の人種や民族の多様性を反映していません 非ヒスパニックの白人個人はしばしば過度に代表され,黒人とヒスパニックの個人は特に都市部では過小評価されています.
科学分野:
- 医療サービス研究
- 健康に関する公平性
- 初等医療へのアクセス
背景:
- メディケイド登録者のプライマリケアへのアクセスの格差は,提供者の受け入れ問題から生じる可能性があります.
- 地元のメディケイド人口に対するプライマリケア提供者 (PCP) パネルの人種的および民族的構成はよく理解されていません.
研究 の 目的:
- PCPのメディケイドパネルの人種的/民族的な構成と,そのサービスエリア内のメディケイド人口の多様性の間の調整を定量化する.
- 異なる人種や民族のグループにおける PCP パネルの代表性の格差を特定する.
主な方法:
- 44州の2019年 トランスフォームド・メディケイド統計情報システム (T-MSIS) 分析ファイルの横断分析.
- PCP (医師,看護師,医師助手) のために計算されたパネル代表比率 (PRR) は,パネルにおける人種/民族グループ比率と郡のメディケイド人口を比較します.
- 医療従事者の専門分野,農村地域,医療従事者の不足地域 (HPSA) による層別分析
主要な成果:
- 非ヒスパニックの白人 (NHW) の登録者は過多 (PRR=1.28),非ヒスパニックの黒人 (NHB) (PRR=0.98) とヒスパニック (PRR=0.82) の登録者は全体的に過少であった.
- NHWの入学者は,農村と都市の両方で,専門分野を超えて代表されていました.
- 都市部では,HPSAの地位に関係なく,NHBとヒスパニックの登録者はPCPパネルに不足していました.
結論:
- メディケイドのPCPパネルは 人種や民族の多様性を反映していません
- 都市部における初等医療パネルにおける 黒人およびヒスパニック系登録者の著しい不足は 医療へのアクセス格差を強調している.
- 医療提供者パネルの構成における格差に対処することは,平等なプライマリケアアクセスを改善するために不可欠です.
