This study examined whether an association exists between federally qualified health centers' (FQHCs') provision of medical training programs and clinical outcomes. Employing a cross-sectional data analysis of the sample FQHCs in the year 2019, the study found that FQHCs with medical training programs provided higher rates of immunization, screenings for cervical cancer, tobacco, statin use, and colorectal cancer. The FQHCs with medical training programs also reported a higher percentage of hypertensive patients properly managing blood pressure level. The results indicated that an FQHC providing medical training, as part of its organizational structure, may have a positive influence on patient outcomes. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Ambulatory Care Management Wolters Kluwer Health

Abstract

This study examined whether an association exists between federally qualified health centers' (FQHCs') provision of medical training programs and clinical outcomes. Employing a cross-sectional data analysis of the sample FQHCs in the year 2019, the study found that FQHCs with medical training programs provided higher rates of immunization, screenings for cervical cancer, tobacco, statin use, and colorectal cancer. The FQHCs with medical training programs also reported a higher percentage of hypertensive patients properly managing blood pressure level. The results indicated that an FQHC providing medical training, as part of its organizational structure, may have a positive influence on patient outcomes.
