Modeling Physical Accessibility to Health Care and Geographic Coverage (AccessMod©)
|
AccessMod is an extension to the ESRI ArcView 3.x software which provides users with the capacity to:
- measure physical accessibility to health care
- estimate geographical coverage (a combination of availability and accessibility coverage) of an existing health facility network
- complement the existing network in the context of a scaling up exercise or to provide information for cost effectiveness analysis when no information about the existing network is available.
The current version of AccessMod is a product developed by the eHealth unit (WHO/IER/KMS/EHL) with financial contribution from the department of Making Pregnancy Safer (WHO/FCH/MPS) and as part of the support initially provided by the Networks of Centres of Excellence (GEOIDE), through collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine, University of Sherbrooke, Canada and the School of Mathematical and Geospatial Sciences, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia.
