Description

In 2000, the Institute of Medicine released a report describing the health care safety net in the U.S. as “intact but endangered.” In particular, the report emphasized the precarious financial situation of many institutions that provide care to Medicaid, uninsured, & other vulnerable patients; the changing financial, economic, & social environment in which these institutions operate; & the highly localized, “patchwork” structure of the safety net. In response, the AHRQ & the HRSA have led a joint safety net monitoring initiative. This vol. offers strategies & tools for assessing local health care safety nets. This book can assist health officials, planners, & analysts in assessing the capacity & health outcomes for the populations served. Charts & tables.
