Managed Care

Arranging and paying for healthcare is an important activity in any health organization. GIS provides an efficient way to organize and manage a wide variety of administrative, medical, and social services to patients or clients.

For example, GIS applications are useful to:

  • home health and social service caseworkers
  • hospital discharge planners
  • disease management
  • lab couriers

Health organizations are using GIS to help their workforce deliver higher client service. Getting clients and workers to the right place efficiently has become a business imperative for most public health, hospital, and human service organizations.
