The influence of visiting consultant clinics on measures of access to cancer care: evidence from the state of Iowa.

Roger Tracy1, Inwoo Nam, Thomas S Gruca.   

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of visiting consultant clinics on measures of access to cancer care for rural patients. DATA SOURCES: 2010 Visiting Medical Consultant Database for the state of Iowa (Carver College of Medicine) and the Iowa Physicians Information System (Carver College of Medicine). STUDY
DESIGN: We compared shortest driving times to the nearest medical oncologist for all Iowa census tracts under two scenarios: including only primary practice locations and adding monthly visiting consultant clinic locations. PRINCIPAL
FINDINGS: For rural Iowans, the median driving time to the closest site for medical oncology care falls from 51.6 to 19.2 minutes when monthly visiting consultant clinics are considered.
CONCLUSIONS: Including visiting consultant clinics has a significant impact on measures of geographic access to cancer care. © Health Research and Educational Trust.
