BACKGROUND
Changing locations disrupts the populations served by primary health care clinics, and such changes may differentially affect access to care for vulnerable populations.
METHODS
Online geographic information systems mapping tools were used to define how the relocation of a family medicine center impacted access to care for black and Hispanic patients with chronic disease.
RESULTS
Maps created from practice management data revealed a distinct shift in black and Hispanic patients with chronic disease being served in the new location.
CONCLUSIONS
Geographic information systems tools are valuable aids in defining changing service areas of primary health care clinics.
背景
改变医疗地点会打乱基层医疗诊所服务的人群，这种改变可能会对弱势人群获得医疗服务的机会产生不同的影响。
方法
在线地理信息系统制图工具被用于定义家庭医疗中心的搬迁如何影响慢性疾病黑人及西班牙裔患者的医疗服务可及性。
结果
从实践管理数据创建的地图显示，新地点服务的慢性疾病黑人及西班牙裔患者明显发生了转移。
结论
地理信息系统工具是定义基层医疗诊所不断变化的服务区域的有价值的辅助工具。
