• Description:
  The Health Planning and Resources Develop­ ment Act (Public Law 93-641 ) places great em­ phasis on the use of existing data by health systems agencies in planning for the delivery of health services. Perhaps the most basic set of availabIe data are those describing the popu­ lation of the area. Population data can be used in themselves to suggest subareas in which dis­ proportionate numbers of persons at high risk of need for services may be located. They may also be used in conjunction with data from other sources to estimate the distribution of need for services in an area and to analyze the patterns of utilization of various types of health and med­ ical services. The estimates of need and patterns of utilization provide measures of the extent to which needs are being met.
