Unequal Access to Health Care
In broad terms, access to care can be defined as the ability to obtain personal health services that are needed, affordable, convenient, acceptable, and effective in a timely manner. Access to appropriate health care services is one of the key determinants of health status, Population-based surveys supported by federal statistical agencies are the major data sources for analyses on access to care.
surveys such as the National Health Interview Survey and the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey are the leading data sources used to monitor access trends as well as other issues related to health care. The latter comprises a series of surveys on health care use and expenditures (e.g., inpatient, outpatient, and office-based care; dental care; and prescription medications), health insurance coverage, access to care, sources of payment, health status and disability, medical conditions, health care quality, and measures of socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. Other well-known national surveys are listed in TABLE 12.2.
