Congrats my friend. I have seen the negative impact of "imaging deserts" and believe that those of us in large AMCs owe it to our rural communities to help providers in "the sand" through the use of expanded AI and remote reads. 🫂🫂🫂(hang together vs hang separately)

95% of Medicare pts live < 16 miles from an echo, but CMR, CT & PET access much more limited. While distance = less CV Imaging in rural areas, those closest to imaging in urban areas had lowest receipt, suggesting distance is insufficient for access. https://t.co/NO4ig4CIsY

18/ This represents the culmination of nearly 2 years of work, led by @n_spetko, and an important step towards understanding contributors to health equity and setting the road map to improve it. Thank you for reading!

17/ However, as our study shows social determinants of health need to be considered in rollout of these measures for them to be fully successful. More is needed to understand the intersection of clinical, community, and health services and imaging receipt.

16/ Mobile exam units such as those studied the Risk Underlying Rural Areas Longitudinal study + strategic investment through the Rural Health Transformation Program ( https://t.co/lTmgr2J3ds) could improve access to advanced tech

15/ Other solutions exist: #AI-assisted #POCUS could be useful in triage ( https://t.co/zJlXw6MXEf) and has been shown to improve access within the Indian Health Services and rural Australia.

14/ Such challenges require innovative solutions and incentives to live in rural counties aren't sufficient. In countries like Canada and Australia with sizable rural populations, health resources are systematically distributed/managed.

13/ d) Receipt of imaging, like other areas of care, is inextricably linked to social determinants of healthcare and we have to consider the wholistic picture in our efforts to expand diagnosis and ultimately treatment of diseases.
