Abstract
The system and method utilizes a computer system having processors that receive quantitative data from users and generate data to facilitate prioritization and reduction of barriers that prevent patients from receiving medical therapies from a particular healthcare provider in rank order. The processors provide an initial rank order of potential barriers based on calculated correlation coefficient, and determine a subsequent rank order of potential barriers based on the calculated correlation coefficient and other data indicative of the effect of each barrier on the patients. The system and method provides for a systematic, data-driven, and validated process to improve patient access to healthcare providers.
