is the world leader in GIS technology. On any given day, more than one million people around the world use Esri geographic information<br />
system (GIS) software to improve the way their organizations conduct business. Esri GIS solutions are becoming an integral component of<br />
health organizations in addition to nearly every other type of business and government service. By adding a geographic component to<br />
data and analysis, Esri software promotes exploring, analyzing and visualizing massive amounts of information according to spatial<br />
relationships. Since most health and human service problems facing the world today exist in a location-based context, geography can<br />
play a major role in helping health professionals understand health dynamics and the spread of disease. Health surveillance systems are<br />
used to gather, integrate and analyze health data; interpret disease transmission and spread; and monitor the capabilities of health<br />
systems. GIS is the enabling technology to spatially relate much of the information, making it a powerful tool for identifying, tracking and<br />
responding to disease patterns and health service needs. Esri software is extensively used by health organizations throughout the world,<br />
including the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), 119 national health ministries,<br />
and over 500 hospitals. For more information, contact Ann Bossard, abossard@esri.com. www.esri.com/health<br />
