Description
Elisa Childs presents a 2023 study of how a patient centred medical home model affects older adults' access to care in rural Georgia. Rural Georgians face few doctors, long drives, and many closed hospitals. The model promises a regular, coordinated care base. Hundreds of older adults were surveyed.
Access differed a lot by care source. Medical home users were mostly white, well schooled, and better off, and clustered near cities. Strikingly, rural and urban people with a plain regular care source said they always got needed care more often than medical home users. Childs urges accreditors to target poor rural areas with many older adults when planting the model.
