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：
    從在肯亞進行臨床實地工作到在瑞典建造新醫院，醫療專業人員使用地理信息系統（GIS）在健康管理的各個領域中可視化和分析地理要素。即使您從未見過GIS或使用過它，您也可以在您周圍看到它的影響：GIS幫助患者更快地入住醫院，使救護車在交通高峰時段更快地行駛，並向管理者展示在哪裡建造可以為最多人提供服務的診所。

    醫療管理是一個快速發展的領域，即使政策的微小變化也會影響我們接受的醫療保健。在這本書中，您將看到醫生、公共衛生官員、保險提供商、醫院、流行病學家、研究人員和HMO高管如何使用GIS來集中資源以滿足他們所照顧人群的需求。

    《醫療組織的GIS》提供了詳細而引人入勝的答案，解決了醫療保健提供者每天提出的困難問題：疾病來自哪裡？它將如何傳播？最近的醫院在哪裡？救護車的最快路線是什麼？我們應該在哪裡分配資金？《醫療組織的GIS》提供了12個案例研究，其中使用GIS來：

    - 追踪傳染病和環境引起的疾病的傳播
    - 根據需求和人口統計因素選址新醫院和診所
    - 監測有毒泄漏以保護附近居民的健康
    - 繪製未來養老院設施的需求
    - 市場醫藥產品

    目錄：
    - 超越流行病學
    - 從經典開始
    - 尋找聯繫
    - 打破循環
    - 做出正確的決策
    - 進行區域健康保健實踐比較
    - 定位新的輔助生活中心
    - 回到工作崗位
    - 降低成本
    - 使之平等
    - 尋找一個地方
    - 追踪污染物泄漏
