    Abstract: A computerized system and method for analyzing medical network adequacy. The computerized system and method uses agency guidelines and location information to generate a report as to whether a network of health care service providers satisfies adequacy requirements or access parameters and further identifies why access parameters were not met according to specialty within a county. It further identifies potential health care service providers for addition to the network to improve the compliance of the network. The analysis extends beyond pass-fail compliance with access parameters as determined by a healthcare agency and quantifies the impact of the addition of a non-participating health care services provider to the network. Non-participating health care service providers may be identified in a list and further, rank ordered within the list so that the providers likely to have the greatest impact on the adequacy measure are listed first.
