4113.0 GIS Mapping and Implementation

Tuesday, November 1, 2011: 10:30 AM
Oral
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and related applications can be used to determine disease prevalence and distribution of resources, as well as for infectious disease outbreak investigations. As the technologies improve, health departments are relying more and more on these systems for these and other functions. This presentation seeks to highlight such successes.
Session Objectives: At the end of this session, participants should be able to: 1. describe how geographic information systems (GIS) can be used to track distribution of human resources; 2. discuss the merits of geospatial data for public health surveillance.
