A DIRE LACK OF PRIMARY CARE in 2024? SAY IT ISN'T SO!
This is the reality for many rural areas across the United States, and on this "On the Road edition" of the Reverse Mullet Healthcare Podcast, "Live at ViVE" from BP2 Health we talk with Dr. Patrick McGill, MD MBA about the transformative strides Community Health Network is making in this area. As Chief Transformation Officer, Dr. McGill is at the helm of integrating technology and fostering critical partnerships to improve patient care and address primary care deserts in Indiana. The discussion is rich with insights into how policy and payment reforms are essential in navigating the complexities of healthcare provision in less populated areas.
The conversation delves into how technology can be leveraged to address these gaps, but it doesn't stop there. Dr. McGill underscores the need for effective policy and payment reforms, as well as addressing provider shortages that are all too common in these settings.

I consider my colleague Julia Ivanova, PhD to be one of the few public health experts who can explain concepts in non-technical terminology. And because of that, her explanation of findings from the 2024 Arizona Rural and Public Health Policy is fascinating.
In her explanation, she discusses how public health leaders are employing various individualized strategies to address the acute problems that hinder rural communities' access to healthcare. These strategies often cater to the unique challenges faced by rural areas, including geographical isolation, limited healthcare infrastructure, and workforce shortages.
Some of those approaches include:
-Telehealth Expansion projects including Mobile Health Clinics
-Recruitment and Retention of Healthcare Professionals
-Training and using more Community Health Workers who understand local cultures and languages
-Forming more partnerships with local organizations, schools, businesses and health systems
-Advocating for policies that improve rural healthcare infrastructure, increase funding, and support innovative care models
-Tailoring education programs to address specific health issues prevalent in rural areas
-Investing in healthcare facilities, technology, and broadband internet for telehealth services.
-Implementing care models like Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMH) and Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs)
The ultimate goal of the conference was to show that these strategies require a deep understanding of the specific needs and resources of rural communities. But with research like Julia's, the ball is pushed one step closer toward implementing solutions that can significantly impact the health and wellbeing of rural populations.

Mixed-methods researcher interested in decision-making, health policy and regulations, and health inequities
The 2024 Arizona Rural & Public Health Policy Forum was an excellent way to gain insight into Arizona's regulatory and policy updates for the new year. Understanding a state's acute and chronic needs in its healthcare system helps the community plan and focus more effectively.
We heard updates from the Governor's health policy advisor, the directors of AHCCCS and ADHS, experts from the Arizona Telemedicine Program, and many more.
One key takeaway from the forum is that while we have long-term goals--such as increasing Accountability/Trust and growing the Workforce--our public health leaders are also using individualized strategies every day to deal with the acute problems that face rural communities' abilities to access healthcare.
