19 percent of the U.S population, live in rural (nonmetropolitan) counties, compared to urban areas. These rural residents experience significant health disparities that are rooted in issues specific to rural areas, including economic, geographic, social, ethnic, racial, and healthcare system-based factors. All of these issues can contribute to limited access to timely medical care. Quality measurement and improvement efforts may be affected where providers have too few patients to calculate reliable and valid results for certain quality measures.
