Health & Human Services
By knowing where this infected mosquito has been, Ben can notify the health services in the affected areas. Almost all health and human services issues, such as managing disease spread, have a link to geography, making location intelligence the perfect analysis tool to help solve these problems. One such issue is the allocation of resources - a key component to the success of any business, but a critical component of effective health management. By using GIS to track, route, document, and map the location of people, places, and things, health resources can be deployed based on location. By delivering information in a geographic context, location intelligence gives health and human services authorities the upper hand to understand problems, formulate solutions, undertake comprehensive planning and manage incidents.
Public Health
Key benefits
GIS is becoming a vital tool for scientists and public health officials investigating the cause and spread of deadly diseases around the world. Treating and controlling outbreaks of infectious diseases such as SARS can be quickly analysed using location intelligence to ensure that appropriate resources are made available.
Hospital Management
Key benefits
Hospital capacity changes continously, and this continual change makes it hard to manage bed availability. Knowing real-time capacities for emergency events is essential, ensuring efficient resource allocation and streamlined admissions. By integrating location intelligence with a hospital's internal information system, the hospital care location of each patient can be linked directly to the clincal events relevant to that patient. By knowing the exact status of every bed, decisions can be made with confidence in emergency situations, and bed allocations can be maximised.
Other application areas include:
- Facility site location
- Bed surge capacity management
- Trauma analysis
- Strategic planning
