it consider in this decision?

accessibility of various locations to through public transportation; and the availability of these locations to
the population in need (i.e. hours convenient with work schedules).
Ob) Where the population covered by its health plan lives; likely revenues vs. costs for clinics in different
locations; the likely usage of the clinics by the covered population (i.e., will this increase their use of
outpatient services); the convenience of use, and whether/to what extent a new clinic take away patients
from another existing outpatient clinic vs. providing services that enable the plan to expand its pool of

Expert Solution

Step 1

It is important to understand an area before opening any hospital, restaurant, etc because understanding and evaluating the culture and lifestyle of that particular area is most crucial. In this case, we are referring to the social justice approach which means fairness and equity are of utmost priority in several aspects of society. For example, when an educational institution is being opened in a specific area, the social justice approach needs to be looked into where benefits in terms of economic, social, and educational, along with the safety and security of the students who will come to study all these need to be looked into, which is a part of social justice approach in society.
