Getting Started Are you ready to integrate GIS into your disease surveillance strategy? Asking these simple questions can make sure you're getting started on the right path. Is your disease surveillance workflow current and ready to be revolutionized? GIS can help you manage processes, software and data products in real time through standardization, centralization and repeatability, allowing you to improve production efficiencies and save resources in your workflows. Are you leveraging web GIS? Web GIS supports real-time visualization and analysis and provides a flexible and agile framework for implementing GIS as a platform. Make sure you are maximizing your investment by looking for innovative ways to leverage your web GIS system internally. Have you explored the availability of analysis tools? The way you display data on a map can change the patterns you see. Spatial analysis tools allow you to quantify patterns and relationships in the data and display the results as maps, tables and charts. The analysis tools empower you to answer questions and make important decisions using more than a visual analysis. Have you explored the availability of lifestyle and demographic data? GIS maps and data available can give you access to a valuable and insightful collection of demographic, psychographic and socioeconomic data, with over 15,000 data variables from 130-plus countries. 10 Altering the Course of Disease Surveillance Spatial • Disease mapping • Geographic correlation • Risk assessment • Cluster detection Check out these free trials: go.esri.com/ArcGIS4DiseaseSurveillance
