Paper based maps
Location Maps
Services can be displayed on way finder maps distributed in literature and on signposts for single or multiple health service locations. A variety of sizes and scales are available to fit the coverage area and media required.
Maps for Policymaking
In recent years geographic information has become increasingly important in enabling public services to publish their data in a suitable and meaning form for public consumption. We can combine asset and critical business information from patient databases or incident data with national and regional geodemographic statistics. Then apply merged feature layers over a map to create a better understanding of influencing factors and scenarios for health related policymaking.
Health maps can help to visualise and inform policy making;
- To unlock key factors affecting the distribution and spread of healthcare matters;
- Understand why and where clusters or gaps appear in your service delivery;
- Ensure service demand is matched by efficient supply where it is needed most, for example - Clinics, Community Midwifes, Adult or Childcare services;
- Focus on hotspots using geographic profiling and digital mapping techniques;
- Define catchment areas for critical services and patient distribution
- Compare and predict service requirements using population projections (link to Newham Case study)
