For this report, the Plains states are defined as Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Each domain is scored using multiple indicators that determine a state\u2019s performance relative to others. Access and Affordability measures rates of insurance coverage, cost-related barriers to care, medical debt, and out-of-pocket burden. Prevention and Treatment measures use of preventive services, mental health care, and quality of care across settings. Avoidable Hospital Use and Cost measures preventable visits, readmissions, per-person spending, and the share of spending on primary care. Healthy Lives measures health outcomes such as premature death, infant mortality, and preventable conditions. Income Disparity is the difference in performance on selected indicators between the state\u2019s lower-income and higher-income populations. Racial Health Equity is the difference in performance on selected indicators across racial and ethnic groups.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-small\">Source: Radley, D., Kolb, K., and Collins, S.R.
