Abstract 201: Travel Distance Among Publicly Insured Infants With Operable Congenital Heart Disease [Session Title: Poster Session PM]

Conclusion: Regionalization of CHD care could increase travel distances and impose access barriers. Our study informs the regionalization debate by estimating the prevalence and characteristics of infant CHD patients who may have high travel distances. Future research should use quasi-experimental approaches to ascertain the relationship between travel distance, access, and outcomes among CHD patients.
