Implications for public health practice

Having access to the locations of healthcare facilities is crucial for public health practice. It allows public health professionals to identify areas of the state that may be at risk for healthcare access disparities and to plan for future healthcare needs. These data can also be used to track the progress of healthcare initiatives, and to identify areas of the state that may have a shortage of healthcare facilities of certain types.
