CareDensity is a small R-Package which can be used to calculate the care density index and the fragmented care density.

A developmental version of this package may be installed from github using the remotes R-Package:

library(remotes)

remotes::install_github("RobinDenz1/CareDensity")

If you encounter any bugs or have any specific feature requests, please file an Issue.

Suppose you have the following patient-provider data:

data <- data.frame(PatID=c("1", "1", "1", "2", "2", "3", "3", "4", "5"),
                   ArztID=c("A", "C", "D", "A", "D", "A", "D", "D", "C"))

This is essentially a description of the following bipartite network:

The simple care density can then be calculated like this:

care_density(data)
