Big data in modelling geographical accessibility to healthcare: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Research on modelling geographical accessibility to healthcare services has witnessed rapid methodological advancement and refinement. One of the contributing factors is the increasing availability of big data detailing the link between the population in need of care and the health facility such as infrastructure, travel modes and speeds, traffic congestion and the quality of road network. This has allowed more granular computation of geographic access metrics, particularly in low-and-middle income countries where data are scarce. However, there are no reviews providing a comprehensive overview of the availability and use of big data for assessing geographical accessibility to healthcare. This protocol aims to describe a methodological approach that will be used to rev
