The Frontier Extended Stay Clinic model: a potential health care delivery alternative for small rural communities.
Key Findings. (1) The Frontier Extended Stay Clinic (FESC) demonstration project provided expanded emergency services and extended clinic stays to remote rural communities. (2) Although the FESC demonstration ended this year, the FESC model may be appropriate in rural communities other than the five original demonstration sites. (3) FESCs may also be alternatives to very low-volume rural hospitals.
