- Healthcare professionals have long advocated for design features thought to benefit health and well-being, such as natural light, ventilation, and space between patients—for example, the circular hospital design proposed by the physician Antoine Petit 3 and long “Nightingale wards” proposed by Florence Nightingale. 4 Hospital design is now informed by a process termed “evidence-based design” (EBD), in which research evidence is used alongside other considerations such as the healthcare context,...

May 2, 2024 · Health care service area (HCSA) definitions are important for a variety of regulatory, policy, and research purposes. Many different HCSA definitions are available, with each capturing a different population and subset of clinical utilization.
Nov 16, 2016 · The new method is automated, scale‐flexible, and effective in capturing the natural structure of the health care system. It has great potential for applications in delineating other health care service areas or in larger geographic regions.

Hospital service areas are used to analyze differences in use of health care that may indicate underuse and overuse. Our new, fully automated, objective, and reproducible method provides a useful tool for hospital services researchers that will enable them to delineate and update patient‐flow‐based HSAs.

Objective: To develop an automated, data-driven, and scale-flexible method to delineate hospital service areas (HSAs) and hospital referral regions (HRRs) that are up-to-date, representative of all patients, and have the optimal localization of hospital visits.

In 1996 federal health statistical reporting was introduced in Switzerland. Public hospitals have a duty to disclose of medical, administrative, and economic data to the Swiss Federal Statistical Office. Five years after introduction hospital participation reached 99% with approximately 85% of public hospital admissions being documented . All submi...
We employed an established method to define hospital service areas derived from hospital discharge data [10, 31, 32]. An algorithm assigns residential areas to a hospital provider area in order to create populations congruent with respect to place of residence and use of hospital services. Ideally, all hospital care for residents is provided within...
Various studies have defined health service areas using different methodological approaches [29, 33, 34]. Such service areas can be on a country , state, province [15, 33] or even city [36–38] level, depending on the research question. In Europe a large body of literature has evolved around small area analysis [11, 18, 36–46], but to our knowledge ...
The study has several limitations. These can be attributed to (1) the underlying area model, (2) the intrinsic diversity of hospital utilization, and (3) the combination of discharges irrespective of medical specialty. Census regions, our underlying area model, were specifically created for the federal health statistics by aggregating zip codes are...
In the last decade the political structure of the Swiss health care system has come under scrutiny. The existence of 26 micro health systems, one for each canton, makes planning very complex. Patient movements over canton borders were estimated to exceed 13% in 2001. Nevertheless, such movements are not accounted for in the majority of planning pro...
