- Summary:
- The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) contracted for development of an index that would consistently measure healthcare access and cost disparities of the Appalachian Region compared with the rest of the United States. The goal was a metric of comparable depth and scope to the ARC Economic Status Index that ARC uses to measure Economic Distress levels in the Appalachian Region. PDA, Inc. and the Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill developed the Healthcare Cost Coverage and Access Index (HCCA), which includes components describing relative availability of health care resources, level of health insurance coverage and cost of providing health services.
