PatientEngagementHIT (7/14, Heath) reports, “Patient access to care is worse for American men than it is for men in any other similarly developed nation, a trend researchers from the Commonwealth Fund attributed to poorer public health and high healthcare costs.” Also, the data showed “US men have the highest rate of avoidable deaths, are the most likely to have two or more chronic conditions, are among the most likely to have unmet mental health needs, and have the highest rates of hypertension.”
