Trends and implications of visiting medical consultant outpatient clinics in rural hospital communities.
The emergence of visiting consultant clinics (VCC) represents an unstudied but potentially important mechanism for importing specialty physician services into rural areas. An analysis of five years of one state's VCC experience reveals a substantial increase in both availability and geographic accessibility. This study documents the market's response to the oversupply and hypercompetition among urban-based physician specialists. Patterns of VCC growth have varied markedly for different specialties.
