Limited Impact of Health Professional Shortage Areas
In 1965, the federal government introduced the Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) program to increase access to physicians in underserved areas.
In the newly released November issue of Health Affairs, Justin H. Markowski and colleagues at Yale University examine the relationship between HPSA designation and physician access and health outcomes from 1970 to 2018.
Ultimately, they find no effect of HPSA designation on population-level mortality ([link removed] ) , and that “73 percent of counties designated as HPSAs continued to qualify as shortage areas ten years after their initial designation.”
The authors conclude that incentives may need to be restricted to address geographic disparities in access to care.
