Equal access to primary care – A reference for spatial allocation in Germany

We offer ideas on how to improve primary care location planning and reduce regional disparities based on an algorithmic reference allocation and the analyzes of infrastructural and environmental factors' impact on regional disparities. While being limited by the exclusion of other determinants of health, we provide a foundation for developing more targeted policies.

Abstract

We offer ideas on how to improve primary care location planning and reduce regional disparities based on an algorithmic reference allocation and the analyzes of infrastructural and environmental factors' impact on regional disparities. While being limited by the exclusion of other determinants of health, we provide a foundation for developing more targeted policies.
