Book Description
Many of the 61 million people who live in rural America have limited access to health care. Almost a quarter of the nation's population lives in rural places yet only an eighth of our doctors work there. Sponsored by the U.S. Office of Rural Health Policy, this unique book provides the facts about this imbalance and interprets them in the context of government programs that promote the placement of doctors and the operation of hospitals in rural places while paying them less to treat Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. The authors' comprehensive analysis of rural health care delivery shows where there are differences in rates of death and disease between rural areas using maps, graphs, and plain-English descriptions. The book provides a thorough look at health care in rural America, giving a snapshot of how doctors, hospitals, and technology are unevenly distributed outside the nation's metropolitan areas.

Book Description
Rural Health: A Framework for Understanding the Issues and Their Impact on Rural Populations examines the factors that affect health care access and health status of individuals who live in rural areas. The text employs a unique structure called the Rural Health Framework, a methodology created by the authors during their years of teaching rural health at the undergraduate and graduate level. This framework challenges students to collect data and facts about rural areas to help them better understand rural health issues. The book emphasizes the complexity of rural health, the interprofessional nature of rural health care, and the importance of appropriate health care interventions for rural populations. The opening chapter provides readers with an overview of rural health terms and concepts. Additional chapters explore how geographic, economic, sociocultural, demographic, and support factors can impact heath status, access, and outcomes. The final chapter features an array of rural health case assessments to help students connect theory to real-world practice. Offering students an innovative and essential approach, Rural Health is an exemplary resource for courses in nursing, public health, medicine, social work, nutrition, and allied health.
