Video Summary
Samuel Borgmanke, a third-year medical student at Ohio University, investigated healthcare accessibility's implications on patient outcomes in rural Ohio, particularly Appalachian regions. His research highlights higher prevalence rates of unintentional injury, stroke, chronic diseases, and preventable hospitalizations in these areas. The study found a correlation between lower healthcare provider density and increased mortality rates from chronic conditions like COPD and diabetes. Appalachian counties had fewer specialist physicians, leading to reliance on primary care practitioners and increased chronic condition prevalence. The study emphasizes enhancing primary and preventable care access to address these healthcare disparities.
