TAILIEUCHUNG - Approaches to GIS Programs In Health Education

Like the population in general, the nursing workforce is aging, and impending retirements are likely to exacerbate future nursing shortages. In Australia, the proportion of nurses and midwives age 50 years and over increased from to from 2004 to 2008. In New Zealand, the average age of the practicing nurses is 47. With a large cohort of nurses expected to retire over the next 5 years, a major challenge exists to ensure an adequate supply of nurses in the coming years. This issue is compounded by the high proportion of part-time workers within this female- dominated profession,. | Approaches to GIS Programs In Health Education Approaches to GIS Programs in Health Education Health and human services students need geographic information system GIS technological skills to analyze the geographic elements of health and human services science. GIS technology has progressed to a high level of sophistication and therefore is relevant to nearly every emphasis of the health major. The rapid evolution of GIS as an analytical tool has created specific applications for multiple health-related fields from environmental and global health to hospital management and marketing. Its acceptance as a strategic component of information technologies and incorporation into the central systems of many enterprises has been driven by both analytical capacity and competitive edge. Although most colleges have GIS in geography or other disciplines on campus few health-related schools offer their undergraduate and graduate students opportunities for emphasis in health geography technologies. In the face of industry demand for qualified health geospatial analysts some universities are still debating the validity of GIS in an accredited curriculum while others are already trying to determine how to position this new field of study within their programs. A few schools offer health geographic programs or tracks that include GIS technologies. Each of these programs is born from unique environments that influence pedagogical approaches. This brochure presents five cases that exemplify varied approaches to GIS academic programs in health-related schools and three cases where universities are applying geospatial technology in health research. While these may not represent all of the ways that GIS can be incorporated into health care programs it is meant to highlight some ways that GIS is being used. 1 S Memorial Dr Saint Louis MO 63102 Hospital Map Sample Latitude Longitude Source 2005 Health Forum LLC. 2005 ESRI On-demand reports and maps Ire .
