To make the data part of a GIS, each call that is made to 911 would need to be tied to a real-time location on a computer-aided digital map so that professionals of emergency medical services can easily and quickly locate people who are in need of specific services.
GIS refers to Geographic Information System. This is a method that can sometimes be employed in hospitals and other health centers in order to better monitor and respond to patients. GIS allows health workers to identity health trends in different regions. It can also be useful when it comes to tracking the spread of diseases and providing better services. However, for any of these to work, health information would have to be tied to a location in a digital map.
