开发了一个数学模型，用于确定大都市区内预付费团体诊所或 HMO 门诊护理诊所的最佳位置。根据现有数据研究了估计入学率函数的几种可能形式，并将该模型应用于宾夕法尼亚州阿勒格尼县大都市，以利用现有的流动护理设施作为潜在地点，在入学率估计不确定的情况下确定诊所位置。该模型同时考虑了固定成本和可变成本，该模型利用各种约束和注册函数的组合来预测每个计划订户的单位成本。
A mathematical model is developed for determining the best locations for prepaid group practice or HMO ambulatory care clinics within a metropolitan area. Several possible forms of a function for estimating enrollment are investigated on the basis of available data, and the model is applied to metropolitan Allegheny County in Pennsylvania to determine clinic locations under uncertainty in enrollment estimates, using existing ambulatory care facilities as potential sites. Both fixed and variable costs are considered in the model, which projects the unit cost per plan subscriber with various combinations of constraints and enrollment functions.
