description | This study adds a gender approach to determine how patient provider racial concordance and acculturation affect Hispanics’ satisfaction with care and inform more nuanced approaches to improving the quality of care for this population. Using the Medical Expenditure Panel Surveys (MEPS) from 2009–2011, four binary satisfaction outcome measures were created from the MEPS: “doctor showed respect”, “spent enough time”, “explained things in a way you could understand”, and “listened carefully”. Next, a Probit model was employed to estimate the impact of racial concordance and acculturation on the probability of being satisfied with provider care for both male and female Hispanics. For Hispanic women, no significant association was found for the relationship between patient-provider concordance and the overall satisfaction with their care. Hispanic men were found to be less likely to be satisfied with some aspects of their medical care when they were racially concordant with their provider. Overcoming assumptions about shared identity is a crucial step in providing culturally competent care for all patients. There is a need for additional considerations in medical training to help physicians connect with patients, regardless of any type of observable concordance. |
