Primary care spatial density and nonurgent emergency department utilization: a new methodology for evaluating access to care
DJ Mathison, JM Chamberlain, NM Cowan… - Academic pediatrics, 2013 - Elsevier
OBJECTIVE: To determine the spatial and demographic characteristics of pediatric patients
who make nonurgent visits (NUVs) to an urban pediatric emergency department (ED). We
hypothesized that the rate of NUVs would be inversely associated with the spatial density of
primary care providers (PCPs). METHODS: A retrospective, cross-sectional analysis was
conducted for all visits to Washington, DC's principal pediatric ED between 2003 and 2006.
NUVs were defined by a unique algorithm combining resource allocation, ambulatory …
