“…Other improvements have attempted to integrate the non-spatial factors in the health accessibility method [25,26,27]. A recent study conducted by Li et al [27] proposed a framework to integrate spatial and nonspatial health accessibility factors by assigning weights for each non-spatial factor based on its importance. Wang and Luo [26] have also studied integrating spatial and non-spatial factors within 2SFCA using principle component analysis.…”

Access to healthcare refers to the ability of individuals to obtain needed healthcare services. It is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon, and can be affected by multiple factors. Among these factors are quality and patient satisfaction. In this study, we propose a framework, namely, Quality and Customer Satisfaction Health Accessibility Framework (QCSHAF), that takes into consideration quality and customer satisfaction in measuring health accessibility. The proposed framework utilizes different social media platforms to derive measures for quality and customer satisfaction of a health facility or physician. The framework is evaluated using a case study in three counties in Southern California. The result from the QCSHAF is compared with the E2SFCA method, a most used method in healthcare accessibility. We discuss the similarity and variation in the accessibility index values between the two methods and highlight the theoretical and practical contributions of the study.

“…Indeed, facilitating access means helping patients select appropriate healthcare providers to preserve or improve their health (Gulliford et al, 2002). Li et al (2017) proposed a framework to build a spatial decision support system (SDSS) to enable decision makers to explore physician shortage areas. This framework allows the use of different spatial and non-spatial determinants of a patient's choice to develop a spatial accessibility index (SPAI) that healthcare managers may use to detect shortage areas and ensure equitable healthcare access.…”

“…The factors commonly used in literature to measure accessibility, which indirectly influence a patient's choice, can be classified into two categories: spatial and non-spatial (Li et al, 2017). The main spatial factor is the travel distance, but the available means of transport is sometimes considered among spatial factors.…”

“…By summing these ratios, it is possible to obtain an index (SPAI) that takes Common non-spatial factors considered in literature include age, sex, ethnicity, income, social class, education or language ability, and high healthcare needs (Wang and Luo, 2005). Li et al (2017) assumed the availability of revealed access (i.e. actual utilization) to understand the utilization pattern.…”

“…Access to health care is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon. Which refers to the ability of individuals to receive health care services needed [2]. In recent years, measurements of spatial access to health care has attracted more attention because of its ability to describe geographical variations in large areas, for example, within cities or provinces.…”

Considering the importance of ways and accessibility in today's busy life, choosing the right place is one of the necessities of each project. It is worth saying that the sensitivity of the patient's condition and related issues has made the hospital locating more important and also it must be noted the different dimensions of health or disease affect each other and is influenced by each other. Indeed, data analysis suggests that the goal of designing a therapeutic centres should not only be included of physical therapy of individuals but in addition to the provision of health services, providing mental and psychological needs of users is one of the most basic design goals of such places. Therefore the hospital locating is taking place in Rasht led to a tree diagram for hospital locating factors based on a summary of scientists and researchers backgrounds which corresponding analysis was made by analysing the selected site and numbering matrixes based on tree diagram. The results of the matrix with an average of 1.31 out of 2 indicate that the selected field is suitable to construct a hospital from locating perspective.
