How Can Health Organizations Get the Most Out of Their Data?<br />

With a Geographic Information System.<br />

In any modern and progressive health organization,<br />

being able to view clinical and administrative<br />

information in its geographic context helps<br />

organizations make better business decisions.<br />

GIS aids in locating scarce health care resources.<br />

Nearly all health data today includes a field that ties it<br />

to a specific place. A geographic information system<br />

(GIS) is the key to bringing this data together and<br />

seeing it in a new way. <strong>Hospital</strong>s, health systems,<br />

managed care plans, physicians, and home health<br />

agencies can all benefit from using a GIS.<br />

ESRI is the world leader in GIS technology. ESRI<br />

offers innovative software solutions that help health<br />

organizations increase the value of the information<br />

they manage. More than 5,000 health clients, 90<br />

ministries of health and 350 hospitals use ESRI<br />

software to help them make better business decisions.<br />
