Title: Access: Measures, Trends and Equity


1
AccessMeasures, Trends and Equity
  • Professor Ronald Andersen, PhD
  • April 26,2006
  • Health Services 100

2
A Definition of Access
  • We define access as the actual use of personal
    health services and everything that facilitates
    or impedes the use of personal health services.
    It is the link between health services systems
    and the populations they serve. The
    conceptualization and measurement of access is
    key to the understanding and formulating health
    policy because it predicts health services use,
    can be used to promote social justice and can be
    used to promote health outcomes.

3
Today we will consider
  • A model of access to care
  • How the model might be used to define and suggest
    improvements in dimensions of access to care
  • Trends in access to care

family income and family size, using Bureau of

other types of health insurance (Medicare,

Conclusions
  • There is nothing more practical than a good
    model to understand and promote access to care
  • Low income and some minority populations appear
    to have achieved equity of access according to
    gross measures of hospital and physician use (not
    adjusting for need) but not dental care
  • Equity has not been achieved according to health
    insurance coverage (and regular care,
    prevention,delay,morbidity, mortality)
  • A first step toward equitable access is coverage
    for all
