Smarter maps – smarter decisions
The Baseline Analyst is a fast, user-friendly tool designed to provide public health professionals with an immediate, high-level assessment of their diagnostic and treatment networks.
Without requiring GIS expertise or expensive software, it allows users to visualize facility locations, analyze network connectivity, and identify potential gaps in service coverage.
The Baseline Analyst is ideal for public health professionals seeking a quick, data-driven review of their service networks before committing to full optimization.
→ Quickly assess facility placements: Conduct a preliminary network review to determine if facilities are well-placed without requiring a complex analysis.
→ Checking capacity and demand balance: Evaluate whether the workload is distributed effectively across sites and identify over-burdened or underutilized facilities.
→ Identifying service gaps & planning resource allocation: Detect long travel distances, uneven coverage, or high-demand areas that may require additional resources or facility adjustments.
→ Testing small-scale changes: Comparing different pre-identified placement scenarios for new service locations & determine which scenario provides the best impact without running a full optimization analysis.
Upload your facility and demand point locations to automatically generate an interactive map that illustrates how facilities are connected to services.
View origin-destination links, distances, and demand distribution to understand accessibility and easily visualize if any areas are underserved due to long travel distances.
Instantly assess key indicators of accessibility of services, such as average- and maximum distances as well as demand-weighted distances & coverage.
These metrics help identify patterns of inefficiency, such as potential accessibility and long service distance challenges that could hinder optimal service delivery.
Assess whether facility capacity aligns with demand by summing up total demand at each destination site (for example labs).
Quickly detect if locations are overburdened or underutilized, helping decision-makers determine where to adjust staffing, equipment, or infrastructure to improve service efficiency and prevent bottlenecks.
→ Distance: straight-line distances
→ Linkages: All origin facilities are part of the solution, assigned to the geographically closest destination
If your Baseline Analyst results suggest inefficiencies or coverage gaps, take the next step with the p-Median Solver – a powerful optimization tool that helps strategically position facilities to maximize accessibility and efficiency. No GIS skills required.
Designed specifically for public health decision-making, the p-Median Solver simplifies complex location optimization into a few easy steps. Upload your data, visualize your locations on a map, and generate optimized placements in minutes..
