GIS in Health Care Planning -- Bibliography -- Appendix. .This book demonstrates how GIS techniques and statistical methods can be used to emphasise the characteristics of population and its related variables, vis-à-vis care facilities and the status of vector borne diseases, as well as for malaria modeling. Concentrating on the Varanasi district of India, the main aim of the book is to determine and map the density areas of vector borne diseases using GIS techniques. The book explores how health GIS is an important sub-discipline of health science and medical geography, which is traditionally focused on the spatial aspects of disease ecology and health care facility analysis. .Geographic information systemsPublic healthEpidemiologyMedical informaticsEnvironmental healthHealth services administrationGeographical Information SystemPublic HealthEpidemiologyHealth InformaticsEnvironmental HealthHealth Care ManagementGeographic information systems.Public health.Epidemiology.Medical informatics.Environmental health.Health services administration.Geographical Information System.Public Health.Epidemiology.Health Informatics.Environmental Health.Health Care Management.910.285Rai Praveen Kumarauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut929099Nathawat Mahendra Singhauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910254019203321Geoinformatics in Health Facility Analysis2515808UNINA
