Multiobjective location planning for primary medical services in rural Iowa

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5161805
Developing location plans for primary medical services is a multiobjective location problem. In rural regions, plans must consider both the ability of a location to retain needed health care professionals and the accessibility of service center locations to the rural population. Using township level population data and a model of physician attrition, these objectives were incorporated into a location-allocation model and applied to rural Iowa.
