A Novel Method for Defining Health Facility Catchment Areas in a Low Income Country
Copyright policy )A Novel Method for Defining Health Facility Catchment Areas in a Low Income Country
The catchment areas of six health-care facilities in Uganda were determined using the cumulative case ratio: the ratio of the observed to expected utilization of a facility for a particular condition by patients from small administrative areas. Our approach is simple, reproducible, and is based on a statistical measure to decide which administrative units should be included in catchment areas.
