Title A name given to the resource Is Rural Kansas Prepared? An Assessment of Resources Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Hannah Berland, Dorothy Hughes Description An account of the resource This cross-sectional study investigated rural Kansas healthcare resources relevant to COVID-19 at the county level in the context of population characteristics. The federal Area Health Resource File was used to assess system capacity and critical care-related resources and COVID-19-related risk factors at the county level. Data were described with summary statistics, cross-tabulations, and bivariate tests to discern differences across county rurality categories (2013 Rural-Urban Continuum Codes). Kansas has 105 counties. Metropolitan counties had an average of 1.5 physicians (M.D. or D.O., any specialty) per 1,000 people, while rural counties had 0.8. A total of 63.5% of rural counties had no anesthesia providers and 100.0% of rural counties had no pulmonary disease physicians. While 96 counties have at least one hospital, nearly 90% rural counties had no intensive care unit (ICU) services. The percent of the population estimated to be over 65 was higher among rural counties (24.2%) than metropolitan counties (19.3%). On average, rural counties had nearly twice as many deaths per 1,000 people by cardiovascular disease and more chronic obstructive pulmonary disease deaths than metropolitan and nonmetropolitan/urban adjacent counties. Kansas faced limited ICU capabilities and physician workforce shortages in rural counties, both in primary care and specialties such as anesthesia and pulmonology. In addition, nonmetropolitan/urban adjacent and rural population age structures and mortality rates potentially demonstrated an increased risk to overwhelm local healthcare systems. This may have serious implications for rural health, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
