Abstract: The technique presented here, a practical method for routine data gathering and subsequent analysis, permits a health center to relate the utilization patterns of its patients to the demographic and geographic characteristics of its target population. By correlating utilization data with demographic data of the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the issue of accessibility can be addressed, since non users are identified as well as users. A study was done to demonstrate the usefulness of this method, and it was found that the patients of a particular health center were not representative of their community.
