Join us on Tuesday, June 19 at 1:00pm ET for a conversation about the recent work of the Measure Applications Partnership (MAP) Rural Health workgroup. We’ll talk to Kate Buchanan, Senior Project Manager at NQF to answer questions about the MAP Rural Health project draft report, open for public comment through July 2, 2018.
More than 59 million Americans—approximately 19 percent of the U.S. population—live in rural areas. Those living in rural areas in the U.S. are more disadvantaged, collectively, than those in urban or suburban areas, particularly with respect to sociodemographic factors, health status and behaviors, and access to the healthcare delivery system. During its first year, the MAP Rural Health Workgroup focused on two primary tasks: (1) identifying core sets of the best available rural-relevant measures to address the needs of the rural population and (2) providing recommendations from a rural perspective regarding measuring and improving access to care.
