The Frontier Extended Stay Clinic
(FESC) model may be a viable means of maintaining essential services in remote
rural areas. ...Based on published evaluations of the demonstration
project in Alaska and Washington, FESC operations in isolated remote areas can
yield cost savings and improve quality of care. This Policy Brief presents data
showing potential use of the FESC model in five rural states with substantial
frontier area, using distance criteria from the demonstration
project.
