Assessing Healthcare Infrastructure; Supply & Demand
As the population ages, migrates and otherwise changes, healthcare needs change by location, type and in other ways. Current small area demographics of these demand measures are not readily available -- when knowing about changes in demand over the next several years is even more important. Changing economic circumstances and issues with insurance coverage affect the ability to pay and the demand for various healthcare resources.
Healthcare Infrastructure & GIS U.S. national scope shapefiles are available for hospitals, nursing homes, and community healthcare centers. These shapefiles are an important part of the broader set of healthcare decision-making information resources. The following Oklahoma City, OK MSA area views illustrate how these shapefiles may be used with the CommunityViewer software to analyze healthcare related issues.

Market/service area analysis ... Site analysis tool used to count number of hospitals within 50 miles of a selected location. 28 hospitals in this example (upper right) with IDs listed in lower right; extract shapefile automatically created. 
Market/service area analysis ... Site analysis tool used to examine demographics in 4 selected census tracts served by health care center. Census tract codes shown as yellow labels. "DP1001" is total population of 4 tracts (shown as cross hatched and listed in lower right box) aggregated. 
Market/service area analysis ... Larger set of tracts selected (18) with total population of 37,668 See broader set of "DP" items available at these web pages: DP1 .. DP2 .. DP3 .. DP4

Review of Selected Analytical Tools & Resources • CommunityViewer GIS • GIS & Health Care ProjectFilesets • U.S. by County Demographics Life Expectancy -- Healthcare ProjectFileset • U.S. Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Health Care Centers by Location -- Healthcare ProjectFileset • Healthcare Industry Establishments, Employment, Earnings -- updated quarterly • DemographicMosaic -- Demographic-Economic Estimates & Projections • Strategic processes to deploy healthcare decision-making information solutions CommunityViewer GIS (CV) Use CV on your computer with the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Area Resource File (ARF), updated annually, providing access to multi-sourced data on several thousand health care-related measures at the county level. Acquire the ARF data directly from HRSA; CV works directly with the ARF data as distributed by HRSA. Integrate the ARF data with other data for spreadsheet, database, visual analysis, and other applications. Export the data for use with other software. Thematic Maps and Pattern Analysis 
The CV map at the right shows the number of MDs per 1,000 population for the U.S. by county.
Darker red: no MDs, light red: 1 MD per 1,000, light blue: 1-3 MDs per 1,000, dark blue: 4 or more MDs per 1,000
population.
It is easy to see counties and regions that are relatively underserved by the availability of physicians.

GIS & Healthcare ProjectFilesets We develop generalized and custom 'HealthCare ProjectFilesets' that provide ready-to-use decision-making information solutions. The HealthCare ProjectFilesets are comprised of a GIS project file and a set of shapefiles with integrated healthcare-related data. The HealthCare ProjectFilesets are ready for use with CV. However, CV is not required to use the health-related shapefiles and data, any software with ability to use shapefiles may use the HealthCare ProjectFilesets. U.S. by County Demographics Life Expectancy -- Healthcare ProjectFileset 
"Life Expectancy Drops for Some U.S. Women" ... data from PLoS Journal of Medicine (4/22/08).
This ProjectFileset is comprised of the
GIS project file, U.S. by County Life Expectancy demographics shapefile, U.S. by state boundary file, and U.S. by CBSA boundary shapefile.
Integrated time series demographics are included in the county and CBSA shapefiles.
Other shapefiles (e.g. streets) can be added using the CommunityViewer GeoGateway feature.
U.S. Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Health Care Centers by Location -- Healthcare ProjectFileset 
This ProjectFileset is comprised of the
GIS project file (national scope shapefiles with integrated attributes):• Hospitals (point) • Nursing homes (point) • Community healthcare centers (point) • States • CBSAs (metros) • Counties • Census tracts Integrated time series demographics are included in the county and CBSA shapefiles. Other shapefiles (e.g. streets) can be added using the CommunityViewer GeoGateway feature. Hospitals. Proximity has geocoded hospital address data collected and developed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Hospital Compare program to enable geospatial analysis of acute care and critical access hospitals and associated attributes. The geocoded address data were then converted to a U.S. by hospital shapefile and related hospital attributes were integrated into the shapefile. Nursing Homes. Proximity has geocoded nursing home address data collected and developed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Medicare Nursing Home Compare program to enable geospatial analysis of nursing homes. Community Health Care Centers. Proximity has geocoded community health care center address data collected and developed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to enable geospatial analysis of these centers. Healthcare Industry Establishments, Employment, Earnings Use the Proximity MetroDynamics to access/analyze healthcare industry establishments, employment and earnings. Updated quarterly, at the county and higher geographic levels, these data provide the most recent measure of healthcare industry composition and trends. Health-related industries include those in NAICS 62 (Excel file) -- Health Care and Social Assistance industries. DemographicMosaic Demographic-Economic Estimates & Projections -- Annually updated; 2010-2015 integrated/coordinated with Census 2010 and American Community Survey. -- Data from census block group level up. -- Scope of subject matter: • General Demographics • Social Characteristics • Economic Characteristics • Housing Characteristics Additional Information Proximity develops geodemographic-economic data and analytical tools and helps organizations knit together and use diverse data in a decision-making and analytical framework. We develop custom demographic/economic estimates and projections, develop geographic and geocoded address files, and assist with impact and geospatial analyses. Wide-ranging organizations use our tools (software, data, methodologies) to analyze their own data integrated with other data. Contact Proximity (888-364-7656) with questions about data covered in this section or to discuss custom estimates, projections or analyses for your areas of interest. |
