OUTLINE Health GIS Health GIS Application Emergency Vehicles Allocation: A case study
Health GIS Innovative structureto access,integrate,visualize and utilize information Analyses: demographic, health ability, and spatial data from health information systems, observation, surveys and maps
Health GIS
Application of GIS in The health Health care service emergency medical service: Health care planning: a challenging field that depends on spatial data such as location and characteristics of health centre demand.
Application of GIS in The health health care system :example Objects resources study program interventions Mapping of registry Disease supervision Promote knowledge
Application of GIS in The health Evaluate population at risk Evaluate equity and efficiency of health service Combine with Health Information Systems to support evidence based decision making
Emergency Vehicles Allocation we use GIS, to determine the best base stations for Emergency vehicles. manage and organize spatial data image solutions using maps results : best possible location to park an emergency vehicle
Way we need GIS
A case study1 Funen Danish island finding placing ambulances on the Danish islands of Funen, Tasinge, Thuro, Sio and Langeland Data of these islands provided by Flack Company Use GIS and GPS roles
GIS data include: a road network demographic data ambulance duties accidents and Falckresources (number of vehicles, garages etc
Working with Data: Layers :features as road network accidents Outline In figure 1 Falck garages on top 2 road network with speed limits above 70 km/h at the bottom
Data The major elements of data include Accidents: Include Time of the call Time of ambulance reaches the accident Time when the ambulance is available again. Road Network One way street speed limits Travel time Information about which addresses belong to which road
Accident Analysis There are two items contract with accidents Where and when happen Use periodic time Analysis: Increase in towns Percentage of accidents in summer weekend differ from that in winter weekend
Accidents rate: Time By days Observes; The highest number of accident on Friday The smallest number of accident on Sunday
Accidents rate By month December has a large number of accidents
The lowest number of accidents happen when people are at sleep. The highest number of accidents happen between 9 am and 2 pm in the weekdays when people are at work.
Best Results for allocation of ambulances on Funen
Framework of GIS
The GUI helps the users to interact with GIS environment features Mapping enable planners and to preprocess data, identify and visualise problems easily. planners can better target when, where, and for what type of calls ambulance response performance must be improved
practical For Improving Response: Conducted in Mecklenburg County Done by MEDIC To get to an incident location.use GIS software GPS mobile computers
Improving Response Implementation an ambulance is dispatched to a call, the system displays information about the call It suggests a route that is based on shortest travel time. choose a hospital from a list, and the system routes them to that hospital Results This system has reduced overall response times by 15 percent
Conclusion Health care is an important part. It has many application systems, planning and services. These application need to improve by using specific technological tools, one of these tools called GIS. Emergency medical service one of these health application that need to improve by GIS especially emergency vehicles. The described GIS structure can assess emergency vehicles performance and help in minimizing the response time.
Conclusion GIS plays an important role in determining the best location for emergency vehicles to be located
