| Bernadette Keefe MD @nxtstop1 Hello @mloxton host and all listening (do join in) , Bernadette Keefe MD , here on a busy afternoon >#meqapi on Rural Hosp Closures #meqapi |
| Matthew Loxton is also on Mastodon @mloxton T1 rural hospitals often not wildly profitable, and require subsidies from more populous regions = inherent vulnerability #meqapi |
| Matthew Loxton is also on Mastodon @mloxton T1 the few incentive programs to attract HCPs to rural areas typically don't retain them long. #RevolvingDoor #meqapi |
| MEQAPI @meqapi RT @nxtstop1: T1 Rural hospital closures are associated with lack of #Medicaid expansion and are an epidemic now in the U.S. #meqapi |
| Bernadette Keefe MD @nxtstop1 T1 Manner in which some states r tackling healthcare, even in #Medicaid expansion states, can force rural hosp closures (save $$$) #meqapi |

| Matthew Loxton is also on Mastodon @mloxton @nxtstop1 Bitter irony, mostly in areas least able to cope without it and highest population of vulnerable people #MEQAPI |
| MEQAPI @meqapi @nxtstop1 Can you expand on that thought, Bernadette? #MEQAPI |
| MEQAPI @meqapi #MEQAPI T2 What MACHINE factors increase or reduce risks of Rural Hospital Closures or Service Termination https://t.co/O5vUYkHAA0 |
| Bernadette Keefe MD @nxtstop1 @meqapi @nxtstop1 Yes. Thinking Maryland>has very aggressive cost cutting policies>'forcing' hospitals to merge/close to make $ #meqapi |
| Bernadette Keefe MD @nxtstop1 RT @meqapi: #MEQAPI T2 What MACHINE factors increase or reduce risks of Rural Hospital Closures or Service Termination https://t.co/O5vUYkHAA0 |
| Matthew Loxton is also on Mastodon @mloxton T2 many scanners, labs, etc cost $$$, create large capital sink for rural hospitals. Long waits for labs from larger centers #meqapi |

| Bernadette Keefe MD @nxtstop1 T2 MACHINES: includes #EHR , digital medical records..Expense to install, train and maintain /upgrade >too much for some rural hosp #meqapi |
| Matthew Loxton is also on Mastodon @mloxton #MEQAPI Just thinking, many states with high rurality also net beneficiaries of federal money, so vulnerable to fed cuts https://t.co/1zIyLIiWvl |

| Matthew Loxton is also on Mastodon @mloxton @nxtstop1 Right! And ditto cost and delays in equipment maintenance. Rural hospitals wait the longest for tech visits, get least visits #MEQAPI |
| MEQAPI @meqapi #MEQAPI T3 What PEOPLE issues increase or reduce risks of Rural Hospital Closures or Service Termination https://t.co/7AajojKvIU |
| Matthew Loxton is also on Mastodon @mloxton T3 huge problem hiring and retaining healthcare professionals in rural areas, and simultaneously have high burden of illness #MEQAPI |
| Matthew Loxton is also on Mastodon @mloxton T3 also lower health literacy, discretionary income, and greater distances. Makes for high impact when a facility closes #MEQAPI |

| Bernadette Keefe MD @nxtstop1 T3 PEOPLE issues: sometimes a self fulfilling prophecy> if people think the local hospital at risk of closure>won't apply 4job there #meqapi |
| Bernadette Keefe MD @nxtstop1 T3 VERY hard to recruit physicians to #rural hospitals - Often depend on the good graces of #immigrant physicians (at risk w/Trump) #meqapi |
| Matthew Loxton is also on Mastodon @mloxton @nxtstop1 Especially relevant bc many foreign-trained nurses and physicians are willing but face huge accreditation hurdles #MEQAPI |

| Matthew Loxton is also on Mastodon @mloxton @SurvivorshipIT @nxtstop1 Indeed, and no plan on the table to change that, as far as I can see #MEQAPI |
| Bernadette Keefe MD @nxtstop1 T6 ENVIRONMENTAL >often a 'prelude' to closures, when funding is cut back, services/wings of hosp, clinics closed, outdated spaces #meqapi |
| Matthew Loxton is also on Mastodon @mloxton T6 political and economic environment, So fewer jobs, less investment in healthcare infrastructure, less mobility #meqapi |
