Travel time: Balance between Distance and Care centre

Population management

CaSPr (Capacity and Staffing Prediction) has recently been updated with a population management module that provides answers to the questions that arrise within this context:

• Which geographical locations are most suited for these centres?
• Where, in Flanders, can we limit the travel time?
• How can we optimise the access for everyone?
• How do we minimise the number of care deserts?

These questions are not only relevant for the S0, S1, and S2 centres, but as well for a broad scala of care offer. For example, where should the centres for specific cardial care programmes be set-up? Where should we put the different PET scanners? Etc.

CaSPr update

The new module in CaSPr allows you to:

• Analyse in a visual manner the travel times to different healthcare institutions.
• It shows clearly which municipalities are within the logical care area of each hospital or hospital network.
• The characteristic features of the inhabitants are accurately mapped by using population indicators.
