Regional disparities in access to verified burn center care in the United States

CONCLUSION We found significant disparities in access to verified center burn care and determined nonverified centers with the greatest potential to increase access, if verified. Our future directions include identifying barriers to verification, such as lack of fellowship-trained burn surgeons or lack of hospital commitment. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Epidemiological, level III.
