Which criterion relates to geographic feasibility for a satellite location?

• A. Distance between location physician is providing care and the satellite location not too great to provide support services
• B. Color of the building
• C. Patient age groups
• D. Doctor's license number

Answer: (A)

Geographic feasibility centers on whether the physical distance and travel times between care sites allow reliable delivery of care and timely access to support services. The statement about the distance being not too great for providing support services captures this practicality: if the satellite is too far from the core facility, essential supports such as nursing staff, labs, imaging, pharmacy, or specialists may not respond promptly, threatening patient safety and continuity of care. The other options don’t address location or logistics: the building color has no clinical relevance to feasibility, patient age groups relate to the served population rather than logistics, and a doctor's license number concerns credentialing rather than geographic practicality.
