Health system integration and cancer center access for rural hospitals.
This study鈥檚 goal was to assess health system integration and cancer center access for rural hospitals. The authors compared health systems with and without cancer centers based on rural hospital presence. They found that 90% of cancer centers are in a health system, and 72% of health systems (434/607) have a cancer center. Larger health systems with more trainees more often have cancer centers but are no more likely to include rural hospitals (11% vs 6%). The minority of cancer centers not in health systems (N = 95) more often serve low complexity patient populations in non-metropolitan areas.

Effect of health system on the association of rurality and level of disadvantage with receipt of diabetic eye screening.
The goal of this retrospective cohort study was to determine the role of level of disadvantage in diabetic eye screening to explain the effect of health systems on rural and urban disparities. Researchers used an all-payer, statewide claims database to include adult Wisconsin residents with diabetes who had claims billed throughout the baseline and measurement years. Results indicated that patients from urban underserved clinics were more likely to receive screening than those from rural underserved clinics; similar findings emerged for both Medicare and non-Medicare subgroups. The researchers concluded that health systems, especially those that serve urban underserved populations, have an opportunity to increase screening rates by leveraging health system-level interventions and supporting patients in overcoming barriers.
