Overview

This analysis compares revealed and potential accessibility in community-level infectious disease care, highlighting socio-economic and spatial influences on healthcare access.

Key Points

  • Main finding shows significant discrepancies between revealed accessibility (RA) and potential accessibility (PA) in healthcare services.
  • Key evidence reveals that PA exceeds RA in certain areas by 18.95%, related to community hospital service radii.
  • Approach utilized the two-step floating catchment area method along with hospital-reported data to assess accessibility.
  • Significance includes informing policy recommendations to better allocate healthcare resources and improve access amid urbanization.
