Abstract

In today’s business environment leaders are often challenged with complex business decisions necessary to maintain profitable organisations and efficiently meet the needs of customers. Patient travel distance to healthcare service locations can affect utilisation and access. Organisations are turning to geographic information systems (GIS) and creating spatial data visualisation outputs using desktop data visualisation software packages to facilitate improved decision-making. These software tools can be useful when assessing current and future medical practice office locations. Investigators reviewed how data visualisation tools were used to examine a data set from a speciality medical care provider with multiple clinical locations across a major metropolitan area for better understanding and conceptualisation of key operating metrics and select future office locations.
