Measures of access to care tracked in the QDR include having health insurance, having a usual source of care, encountering difficulties when seeking care, and receiving care as soon as wanted. Historically, Americans have experienced variable access to care based on race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, sex, disability status, sexual orientation, gender identity, and residential location.</p>

<p><strong>Key: </strong>n = number of measures.<br /><strong>Note:</strong> The measures represented in this chart are available in <a href="/research/findings/nhqrdr/nhqdr16/appendixb1_accesstrends.html">Appendix B</a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Most access measures (70%) tracked in this report did not experience significant improvement (2000-2014) (Figure 9; <a href="/research/findings/nhqrdr/nhqdr16/appendixa-graphs.html">Appendix A</a>, Graph 1 shows examples). Some of these measures are:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul><li>Adults who needed care right away for an illness, injury, or condition in the last 12 months who sometimes or never got care as soon as needed.</li>
|
||
<li>People who were unable to get or delayed in getting needed prescription medicines in the last 12 months.</li>
|
||
<li>People with a usual primary care provider.</li>
|
||
</ul><p>There were significant gains in having health insurance. Several subgroups did better than reference groups in 2014 on health insurance coverage measures for people under 65. Most of the recent increases in insurance coverage for people under 65 were due to Medicaid and Marketplace coverage (<a href="/research/findings/nhqrdr/nhqdr16/references.html#Selden">Selden, et al., 2016</a>; <a href="/research/findings/nhqrdr/nhqdr16/references.html#Vistnes">Vistnes & Miller, 2016</a>).</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Most disparities showed no statistically significant changes, with a few exceptions, including the following measures that improve over time. The disparity between the comparison groups and reference groups are shrinking for the following measures:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul><li>People under age 65 with any private health insurance:
|
||
<ul><li>Adults with limitations in basic activities vs. neither basic nor complex activities.</li>
|
||
</ul></li>
|
||
<li>Adults age 65 and over with any private health insurance:
|
||
<ul><li>Hispanics vs. non-Hispanic Whites.</li>
|
||
<li>American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) vs. Whites.</li>
|
||
<li>Blacks vs. Whites.</li>
|
||
</ul></li>
|
||
<li>People with a usual source of care, excluding hospital emergency rooms, who has office hours at night or on weekends:
|
||
<ul><li>AI/ANs vs. Whites.</li>
|
||
</ul></li>
|
||
<li>Adults who had a doctor’s office or clinic visit in the last 12 months and needed care, tests, or treatment who sometimes or never found it easy to get the care, tests, or treatment:
|
||
<ul><li>Asians vs. Whites.</li>

</ul></li>
