Description :
The AA. establish whether spatial variation exists in acute hospital utilization in Ireland and, if it does, to identify the microlevel factors influencing this variation. Using the calibrated data from the aforementioned spatial microsimulation model, the AA. examine whether the spatial patterns of the variables found to influence hospital utilization match the spatial pattern of actual hospital utilization rates at the small area, electoral division level.
