ESRI Presents: GIS Applications in Healthcare and Hospital Preparedness Wednesday, March 31, 2:30-3:30pm Theater B, on exhibit show floor Experts on clinical outcomes have long recognized that geography plays a critical role in explaining different medical outcomes. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) facilitate the integration, analysis and visualization of information. GIS technology is one of the fastest growing technologies in healthcare today, helping professionals in the ever more complex health industry manage their information to make better decisions. GIS is currently being used in hospitals around the country to help improve patient outcomes and reduce costs. Applications include emergency department command centers, market analysis, site location, routing of health workers and electronic bed management. Hospital preparedness requirements are bringing GIS into the enterprise Hospital Information Systems (HIS). Geospatial intelligence, embedded in HIS, provides a framework for managing, integrating, analyzing and communicating volumes of data so that hospitals can respond quickly to disease outbreaks, whether naturally occurring epidemics, bioterrorist events, or other large-scale events. Presented by: Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), Sponsor of the 2004 HIMSS National Preparedness and Response Survey; Ann Bossard, Manager for Hospital and Health Systems Solutions, ESRI; Christina Woods, Account Manager for Health and Human Services Solutions, ESRI HURRY!
