Description : Health care executives and managers will get a closer look at how to use geographic information systems (GIS) to improve patient care, better manage their facilities, and increase their market share with this book. GIS is already used to monitor the spread of disease, assign patients to the nearest facility, and display injuries on a map of the human body. This book uses a dozen case studies, ranging from federal institutions and state public health departments to private care providers, to explain how the program was implemented and to report the results. With GIS, health care workers will be able to access accurate information quickly and easily through an easy-to-understand visual medium.
Provides detailed and compelling answers to the difficult questions health care providers ask every day: Where is the disease coming from, how will it spread, where is the nearest hospital, what is the fastest route for the ambulance, and where should we allocate our funding. Presents 12 case studies in which GIS is used. CD-ROM included.
