Description

Now, more than ever, professionals can benefit from the power of location data, maps, and analytics in healthcare.  Health professionals see the importance of the who, what, when, and where of data analytics.

The “where” adds a crucial element because good healthcare begins locally and understanding the impacts of place leads to better health.

Health professionals recognize the insights gained from visualizing and analyzing location data.

Maps, dashboards, apps, and charts can serve as location analytic tools to quantify problems, make predictions, improve operations, assess infrastructure, and make better decisions overall. GIS Jump Start for Health Professionals is a concise workbook that introduces location analytics available in geographic information systems (GIS) to health professionals, medical students, residents, fellows, nursing students, medical researchers, and others interested in health IT and informatics, health-care administration, and health policy.

GIS Jump Start for Health Professionals provides hands-on tutorials that introduce the ArcGIS tools and shows how to use web-based data, storytelling apps, and much more.

The book includes concepts and short video lectures to improve learning outcomes.

Focused lessons get health professionals up and running quickly and experiencing first hand the value of location data, maps, and analytics. Written by Kristen S. Kurland, an award-winning professor at Carnegie Mellon University and co-creator of the GIS Tutorial series, this book can be used as a short course or incorporated into another course.

It is also valuable to self-learners who want location technology experience.
