abstract: 'ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to describe the local communities
|
|
|
|
served by major teaching hospitals.MethodsUsing a dataset of hospitals
|
|
|
|
around the United States provided by the Association of American Medical
|
|
|
|
Colleges, we identified major teaching hospitals (MTHs) using the
|
|
|
|
Association of American Medical Colleges'' definition of those with an
|
|
|
|
intern-to-resident bed ratio above 0.25 and more than 100 beds. We
|
|
|
|
defined the local geographic market surrounding these hospitals as the
|
|
|
|
Dartmouth Atlas hospital service area (HSA). Using MATLAB R2020b
|
|
|
|
software, data from each ZIP Code Tabulation Area from the US Census
|
|
|
|
Bureau''s 2019 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimate Data tables were
|
|
|
|
grouped by HSA and attributed to each MTH. One-sample t tests were used
|
|
|
|
to evaluate for statistical differences between the HSAs and the US
|
|
|
|
average data. We further stratified the data into regions as defined by
|
|
|
|
the US Census Bureau: West, Midwest, Northeast, and South. One-sample t
|
|
|
|
tests were used to evaluate for statistical differences between MTH HSA
|
|
|
|
regional populations with their respective US regional
|
|
|
|
population.ResultsThe local population surrounding 299 unique MTHs
|
|
|
|
covered 180 HSAs and was 57\% White, 51\% female, 14\% older than 65
|
|
|
|
years old, 37\% with public insurance coverage, 12\% with any
|
|
|
|
disability, and 40\% with at least a bachelor''s degree. Compared with
|
|
|
|
the overall US population, HSAs surrounding MTHs had higher percentages
|
|
|
|
of female residents, Black/African American residents, and residents
|
|
|
|
enrolled in Medicare. In contrast, these communities also showed higher
|
|
|
|
average household and per capita income, higher percentages of
|
|
|
|
bachelor''s degree attainment, and lower rates of any disability or
|
|
|
|
Medicaid insurance.ConclusionsOur analysis suggests that the local
|
|
|
|
population surrounding MTHs is representative of the wide-ranging ethnic
|
|
|
|
and economic diversity of the US population that is advantaged in some
|
|
|
|
ways and disadvantaged in others. MTHs continue to play an important
|
|
|
|
role in caring for a diverse population. To support and improve policy
|
|
|
|
related to the reimbursement of uncompensated care and care of
|
|
|
|
underserved populations, researchers and policy makers must work to
|
|
|
|
better delineate and make transparent local hospital markets.'
