Each population point also contains the variables for Time and Distance Standards for the County that the point is within. These standards differ by County due to the County &quot;type&quot; which is based on the population density of the county. There are 5 county categories within California: Rural (&lt;50 people/sq mile), Small (51-200 people/sq mile), Medium (201-599 people/sq mile), and Dense (&gt;600 people/sq mile). The Time and Distance data is divided out by Provider Type, Adult and Pediatric separately, so that the Time or Distance analysis can be performed with greater detail. <br /></div><ul><li>Hospitals</li><li>OB/GYN Specialty</li><li>Adult Cardiology/Interventional Cardiology</li><li>Adult Dermatology</li><li>Adult Endocrinology</li><li>Adult ENT/Otolaryngology</li><li>Adult Gastroenterology</li><li>Adult General Surgery</li><li>Adult Hematology</li><li>Adult HIV/AIDS/Infectious Disease</li><li>Adult Mental Health Outpatient Services</li><li>Adult Nephrology</li><li>Adult Neurology</li><li>Adult Oncology</li><li>Adult Ophthalmology</li><li>Adult Orthopedic Surgery</li><li>Adult PCP</li><li>Adult Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation</li><li>Adult Psychiatry</li><li>Adult Pulmonology</li><li>Pediatric Cardiology/Interventional Cardiology</li><li>Pediatric Dermatology</li><li>Pediatric Endocrinology</li><li>Pediatric ENT/Otolaryngology</li><li>Pediatric Gastroenterology</li><li>Pediatric General Surgery</li><li>Pediatric Hematology</li><li>Pediatric HIV/AIDS/Infectious Disease</li><li>Pediatric Mental Health Outpatient Services</li><li>Pediatric Nephrology</li><li>Pediatric Neurology</li><li>Pediatric Oncology</li><li>Pediatric Ophthalmology</li><li>Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery</li><li>Pediatric PCP</li><li>Pediatric Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation</li><li>Pediatric Psychiatry</li><li>Pediatric Pulmonology</li></ul></div>
