Administrative database including claim data and geographical information system (GIS) are promising tools to profile the disparity in delivering medical care. We have successfully indicated the disparity of special access between patients and emergency medical center receiving and providing emergency medicine.In addition, once the critical care of ventilation administration be interrupted in disaster, we measured the burden of hospitals as well as special access associated withthe patients transfer to regional facility able to provide the same care, and aggregated them every prefecture to determine which prefecture to consider disaster preparedness most.Our research model using administrative database and GIS would be expected to contribute to the evidence-based health care policy through determining the effective allocation of medical care resources.
