Patient-provider geographic map: An interactive visualization tool of patients' selection of health care providers
2017
Advanced data visualization tools have the potential to transform raw healthcare data into actionable insights that improve patient care. This paper introduces a visualization framework to aid healthcare policy-makers and hospital administrators to visualize, identify, and optimize the geographic variations of access to care. The Patient-Provider Geographic Map provides multiple concurrent interactive choropleth maps with the capabilities of also filtering and displaying aggregated patient and provider layers. It allows users to collaborate and explore health care providers' catchment area, and the accessibility for local residents. Ideally, users interact with several interactive visualizations concurrently in a large-scale immersive environment. This unique approach enables non-technically oriented stakeholders a data immersion experience that greatly increases their comfort levels with data-driven decision making.
