    Seven characteristics of 243 Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSAs) were subjected to discriminant analysis to determine whether they distinguish SMSAs where at least one health maintenance organization (HMO) was organized between 1972 and 1980 from SMSAs where no HMO developed. The discriminant function correctly classifies 77 per cent of the metropolitan areas considered. Presence of a medical school, regional location, and SMSA popula…

    The spatial distribution of medical care facilities in the metropolitan community and methods of representing them are analyzed. Two aspects are treated: 1. graphic and analytical techniques for presentation and analysis of areally distributed data, and 2. implications of these distributions for medical care utilization and planning. A three-dimensional analogue model is introduced which provides accurate visual representation and allows limited …
