Use of the Spatial Access Ratio to Measure Geospatial Access to Emergency Surgical Services in California

2020-05-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Emergency general surgery (EGS) diseases carry a substantial public health burden, accounting for over 3 million admissions annually. Due to their time-sensitive nature, ensuring adequate access to EGS services is critical for reducing patient morbidity and mortality. Travel-time alone, without consideration of resource supply and demand, may be insufficient to determine a regional health care...
