Where Do Patients Go?Welcome to WDPG

Where Do Patients Go, or WDPG, presents data from our recent survey of a large representative population about how they seek healthcare.

Why should you be interested in WDPG?

Our data shows how patients with a minor illness or injury make decisions in a rapidly changing healthcare landscape.



What can you do with "WDPG"?

You can use the survey findings to estimate patient distributions:

  • Across eight care settings
  • For 12 clinical scenarios

Under different assumptions about population characteristics

  • Using the 2010 US census
  • Or using you own data

Developed by iTEQC
