How is access to doctors measured?

Localized potential accessibility (APL), calculated by DREES, the statistics office of the French Ministry of Health, measures how many general practitioner visits each inhabitant can access per year. It takes into account doctors in the commune and in nearby communes, how much they work, and the age of the population. In its studies, DREES describes communes with an APL below 2.5 visits per inhabitant per year as underserved. Values are high in tourist resorts, where doctors also serve a seasonal population.
