“…Health care needs and the type of ACSCs diagnoses differ by age group; therefore, the ACSHs were estimated separately for three age groups: pediatric (0-17 years), adult (18-64 years), and elderly (65 years and older). For the elderly population, consistent with other studies, pneumonia was excluded from the ACSC diagnoses, as pneumonia is often a terminal event in the elderly population [20,32]. The younger than 65 population may experience greater barriers to care related to poverty, justifying the estimation of separate rates for the three population groups [9,24].…”

This study examines the relationship between rurality as well as the proportion of non-physician clinicians and county rates of ambulatory care sensitive hospitalizations (ACSHs) for pediatric, adult and elderly populations in Nebraska. The study design was a cross-sectional observational study of county level factors that affect the county level rates of ACSHs using Poisson regression models. Rural (non-metro) counties have significantly higher ACSHs for both pediatric and adult population, but not for the elderly. Frontier counties have significantly higher adult ACSHs. The proportion of primary care providers who are non-physician clinicians does not have a significant association with ACSHs for any of the age groups. The results indicate that rurality may have a greater impact on pediatric and adult ACSHs and the proportion of NPCs in the primary care provider workforce does not significantly impact ACSH rates.

“…A growing body of literature shows that individuals with complex medical needs often travel long distances for hospital care. 17,50,51 Future studies should explore the reasons why rural children admitted to urban children's hospitals have a higher degree of medical complexity than urban children.…”

“…A distância dos serviços pode ser compensada por medidas como a facilitação de transporte, a presença de sistema de referência aos serviços hospitalares e mecanismos de acolhimento que facilitem a obtenção de cuidado. Estudo realizado no Estado de Nova Iorque, Estados Unidos, após implantação de mudanças voltadas para melhorar o acesso aos hospitais da população rural, sugere que estas foram capazes de diminuir o efeito da distância na propensão de procura de cuidado à saúde de residentes em áreas rurais com condições de saúde graves 20 .…”
