1. Proposed Actions of Data Technical Subcommittee for Feb. 2011 Meeting January 20, 2011

2. Proposed Work Demonstrate distribution of primary care – Compare to current HPSA Provide judgment and recommendation on relative merit of data sources – existing/potential secondary sources – Local/state collected Consider ways to combine direct health & social deprivation approach to MUA

3. Specific HPSA Analyses Map/analyze primary care docs – GP, FP, IM (no subspec), Peds (no subspec) Map/analyze non-doc primary care providers – NP, PA Combine them Show impact of adding these ‘hold’ groups – Doc Subspecialists: IM, Ped, OB/GYN >>>Overlay different definitions with HPSA<<<

4. A Bit More Detail Sensitivity Analyses for weights of non-doc – Sub-sub group will suggest weight – Best evidence, sensitivity? Explore different cut points – Relative (ex. Quartile split) – Normative (literature driven answer) Units of Geography to explore – County, PCSA, State-based service areas

5. Toward an MUA We will work on different approaches that join the direct measurement of health outcomes with a social deprivation-type approach – Attempt to provide some empirical information on what options look like compared to current IMU – Keep in mind notion of menu options

6. Sub-Sub Groups Workforce (Tess, Andrea, Ron, others) Accessibility-distance, barriers (Alice, Alan, Barbara, Dan, Beth G., Sally, others) Ability to pay (Tim, Bill, Jose or Roy) Health Status/Socio-Economic Indicators (Bob, Steve, Alice, Marc, Don, Jose)
