Tutorial for Health The GIS Tutorial for Health workbook introduces you to GIS using health care policy and planning scenarios.

Hospital administrators contend with a two-edged sword—you need to provide the best quality of care to patients and efficiently manage human and medical resources.

GIS improves acquisition of timely, accurate, and relevant information essential to the delivery of effective health care services including emergency planning, operational awareness, and trauma management. By using geography to locate a new facility, estimate demand for a new service, or make sense of transmission patterns of hospital-acquired infections, GIS provides a better way to relate complex elements and reveal solutions.
