Unit 3 Representing healthcare provision
This unit looks at the issues involved in representing healthcare provision and particularly healthcare facilities in a GIS. Whilst this might seem straightforward and that facilities can be represented as a point vector layer, there are some complexities to doing this, and there are particular groups of attribute fields associated with facilities. In this unit, we therefore look at:
- representing healthcare locations
- mapping facility catchments
- healthcare records and attributes commonly attached to facilities
- representation of mobile facilities and telemedicine
