商品描述

Description:

From conducting clinical field work in Kenya to constructing new hospitals in Sweden, health professionals use GIS (geographic information systems) to visualize and analyze geographic elements in every branch of health management. Even if you've never seen a GIS, or used one, you see its effects all around you: GIS helps patients check into hospitals faster, speeds ambulances around rush-hour traffic, and shows managers where to build clinics that will serve the most people.

Health care management is a rapidly developing field, where even slight shifts in policy affect the health care we receive. In this book, you'll see how physicians, public health officials, insurance providers, hospitals, epidemiologists, researchers, and HMO executives use GIS to focus resources to meet the needs of those in their care.

GIS for Health Organizations gives 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? Where should we allocate our funding? GIS for Health Organizations presents 12 case studies in which GIS is used to:

  • Track the spread of infectious and environmentally caused diseases
  • Site new hospitals and clinics based on demand and demographic factors
  • Monitor toxic spills to protect the health of nearby residents
  • Map the demand for future nursing home facilities
  • Market pharmaceuticals

    描述：
    從在肯尼亞進行臨床實地工作到在瑞典建設新醫院，健康專業人員利用GIS（地理資訊系統）來可視化和分析健康管理各個領域中的地理元素。即使你從未見過GIS或使用過它，你也能在周圍看到它的影響：GIS幫助病人更快地入住醫院，加速救護車在高峰時段的交通，並顯示管理者在哪裡建設能服務最多人的診所。

    健康管理是一個快速發展的領域，即使是政策的微小變化也會影響我們所接受的醫療。在這本書中，你將看到醫生、公共衛生官員、保險提供者、醫院、流行病學家、研究人員和HMO高管如何利用GIS集中資源以滿足他們所照顧的人的需求。

    《健康組織的GIS》為健康照護提供者每天提出的困難問題提供了詳細而有說服力的答案：疾病來源是什麼？它將如何擴散？最近的醫院在哪裡？救護車的最快路徑是什麼？我們應該如何分配資金？《健康組織的GIS》展示了12個案例研究，其中GIS被用來：
    - 追蹤傳染病和環境引起的疾病的擴散
    - 根據需求和人口因素選址新醫院和診所
    - 監測有毒洩漏以保護附近居民的健康
    - 繪製未來護理院設施的需求地圖
    - 銷售藥品
