DEPAHRI

Overview

The Digital Exclusion and Physical Access to Healthcare Risk Index (DEPAHRI) is a dataset that indicates the overall difficulty of physically and digitally accessing healthcare services in England, Wales and Scotland. It builds on the DERI Index, adding a physical component to it.

Higher DEPAHRI scores indicate higher risk of exclusion to healthcare services.

Installation

You can install the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("humaniverse/DEPAHRI")

Methodology

DEPAHRI is made up of four equally weighted components. Each component is based on a set of indicators:

  • Demography
    • Population aged 65+
    • Population aged 75+
    • Residents whose daily acitivites are limited
    • Population in social grade DE
  • Deprivation
    • Residents on guaranteed Pension Credit
    • Population 16+ without qualifications
    • Alternative unemployment rate
    • Index of Multiple Deprivation score
  • Digital connectivity
    • Homes unable to receive 30MBit/s connection
    • Connections receiving less than 10MBit/s
    • Download speed
  • Physical access to healthcare
    • Road distance to GP surgery
    • Road distance to nearest three hospitals

Each indicator is scaled from 0 to 10 and based on the national minumum and maximum values.

Deprivation, demography and digital connectivity make up the DERI Index. DEPAHRI is the addition of a physical access component.
