This research is focused on effectively understanding, measuring,
and modeling the impact of Access to Care (AC) on Patient Safety
(PS) through the creation of a model that evaluates their
interdependence. Using statistical tools and a combination of
variables that define patient access to healthcare and patient
safety, a Patient Access and Safety (PACSA) index is developed. The
input variables used to support this research are Patient Access
Factors (PAF) (Age, Insurance Type, Visit Type, List Price, and
Days To an Appointment) and Patient Safety Factors (PSF) (Severity
of Diagnosis, Race, and Gender). The calculated Patient Access and
Safety (PACSA) index provides information to both providers and
patients about the impact of access and safety on treatment
outcomes. This research also describes popular access to care
methodologies, quality tools and process improvement techniques,
including Six Sigma. The indices developed can offer benefits to
health care organizations, healthcare executives, patients,
physicians, and government entities by providing a versatile tool
to help improve access to health care and patient safety.
