Abstract

A common problem in healthcare logistics is maximizing coverage of a scarce resource through optimal facility location. There are important equity considerations when some areas cannot access potentially life-saving medical services. For emergency healthcare which is time-sensitive, it is necessary to consider both the quality and extent of the coverage. Most past research in this area focused on maximizing coverage or survival by identifying better locations or offering better treatments. In this work, we compare how traditional and novel service delivery strategies affect both spatial and population coverage. This comparison highlights improvements in the quality and extent of that coverage.
