Frequently Asked Questions

What makes healthcare facility site selection different?

Access and convenience dominate because most patients choose nearby providers, and service lines differ in catchment size. Slant helps you pair drive-time logic with demographic need so the site matches primary care versus specialty strategies.

How do you identify underserved healthcare markets?

Compare patient-weighted demographics and competitor supply within realistic drive times, then look for gaps where demand signals exceed local capacity. The goal is to find pockets where a new facility meets need without cannibalizing your own network.

Which patient demographics matter most?

Age mix, insurance coverage proxies, income, and household composition influence utilization and payer mix depending on specialty. Layering those profiles with visitation patterns clarifies whether a visible corner also reaches the intended patient base.

How should urgent care sites weigh daytime population?

Urgent care often benefits from employment density and commuter corridors because episodic demand clusters around workdays. Daytime population and peak-hour traffic help validate convenience for walk-ins and lunch-hour visits.
