Using floating catchment area (FCA) metrics to predict health care utilization patterns
Abstract Background Floating Catchment Area (FCA) metrics provide a comprehensive measure of potential spatial accessibility to health care services and are often used to identify geographic disparities in health care access. An unexplored aspect of FCA metrics is whether they can be useful in predi...
