Research Abstract |
Geographic distribution of physicians in Hiroshima prefecture was examined utilizing geographic information systems. Characteristics of physicians who were likely to move from urban to rural areas were shown. Comparing physician distribution between Nagasaki and Hiroshima prefecture, we revealed a shortage of physicians worsened the skewed distribution of physicians. Adding data on addresses of dialysis patients, we showed geographic maldistribution of dialysis service provision in Hiroshima prefecture.
