Thank you very much. Exactly. Simple is the best although no-show involves complex and multi-factorial situations.
This is a great topic and research study. Nice work. Thanks
Great work - interesting implications for our discussions on EDI and climate impact!
Great poster on an interesting approach to an important and very common problem. Simple solutions are often the best solutions. If you pursue larger research on this type of transportation intervention, you might consider integrating GIS data and bus routes to help address differences between patients in her and how easy this is a bus with her without a free ticket it is doable; talk to your colleagues in geography and urban planning.. - Bill Phillips
Thank you for your suggestions on future directions. That sounds a great idea to me. Thank you so much.
how did you pay for this in the sustenance mode? Thank you for sharing your work with NAPCRG!
This project was funded by UPMC Shadyside Hospital Foundation. We received another one in this academic year to continue our project to address transportation barriers. Hope I answered your question. Thank you for this great opportunity to share our scholarly work.
Sorry- got cut off. A big issue, however is making sure the practice is on a bus line. Our office is but I know many offices that aren't.
