| Parchman ML. Changes in the Supply and Distribution of Primary Care Physicians within Market-Defined Areas and Counties of Texas 1990-2000 2005 Oct. 41 p. Available from: www.uthscsa.edu/rchws This report describes the research that preceded Assessing Health-Workforce Disparities in the U.S./Mexico Border Region: A Geographic Information Systems Approach, a larger work reporting on the use of GIS techniques to develop adequate tools for public administrators charged with defining health workforce shortage areas. The aim of the research reported here has been that of assessing changes in the distribution of primary care physicians and non-physician clinicians in Border and rural areas of Texas using the newly developed definitions of Primary Care Service Areas (PCSAs). The use of PCSA geography was employed, as opposed to more-traditional, politically configured county boundaries, to produce findings that reflected actual health-service areas rather than administrative conventions. The findings from this research project provided insights to the methodological and data- collection challenges facing policy makers and researchers alike. They suggest that further analyses are needed to inform policy that addresses physician-shortage areas. |

| Grant Detail | My participation on this cooperative agreement is as P.I. The RN project is just one of may projects on this agreement. A portion of this agreement (approximately < $50K per year for questionnaire administration) supports the goals of the Health Resources and Services Administration to examine access to care and health professional distribution, availability and career fulfillment in vulnerable parts of the U.S., in this case, the U.S.-Mexico Border. The RN Career Fulfillment Survey is developed and administered to random samples of the RN population in south central U.S. Quantitative results are provided to HRSA, state professional associations and to the Texas Legislature as an input to policy action. |
