В настоящее время сетевая географическая информационная система все чаще используется организациями здравоохранения и различными сервисами, оказывающими социальные и медицинские услуги, эта система наглядно демонстрирует необходимость создания данных для здравоохранения в тесной связи с географическими данными. С развитием общественной информации и проблемами, возникающими в системе сетей наблюдения, очень актуальным становится вопрос предоставления информации людям, которые реально нуждаются в этом. У людей должен быть прямой доступ к информации о различных медицинских учреждениях и оборудованию при помощи выхода в интернет, через мобильный телефон и прочих устройств. Это поможет им экономить время, кроме того будет экономить транспортные расходы. Географическая информационная система (ГИС) и вэбГИС будут служить инструментом, способствующим достижению этой цели.

Данный проект содержит в себе создание базы данных ГИС Здоровье для CHSS (Contributory Health Service Scheme) с использованием открытых источников. Это приложение будет обеспечивать сотрудников HRS информацией о специалистах, докторах и т.д. больниц, лабораторий, и на панели CHSS будет возможность поиска местоположения пользователя.

Основные задачи проекта:

Nowadays web-based GIS is being increasingly utilized by health organizations and social health services to share and visualize geo-referenced health data through the Web. In the development of a public information and disease surveillance network, issues ofprovid-ing information to people who really need it are important concerns. People should have instant access to the information of the health facilities by using internet connection from mobile and desktop devices. This will help them in saving time and will be economical to approach the facilities. Geographical Information system (GIS) and webGIS provides the tools for achieving all these things.

This project work involves creating HealthGIS application database for CHSS (Contributory Health Service Scheme) of IIRS by using open source tools. This application will provide IIRS employees information related to the AMO/specialists, doctors, etc. hospitals/pathology labs under the CHSS panel and searching capabilities based on user location. The major objectives of this project are:

Data collection:

Collecting missing location data of specialist doctors, hospitals, pathology labs, etc.

Geographic information system is combination of software system and hardware systems which allow users to capture, store, analyze and manage spatially referenced data. Web based GIS is been increasingly utilized by health organizations and social health services to share and visualize geo-referenced health data through the Web. In the development of a public information and disease surveillance network, issues of providing information to people who really need it are important concerns. People should have instant access to the information of the health facilities. Internet serves as the best means of providing such information which could be accessed via mobile or desktop devices. Such instant access to health GIS information will help users in saving time and money to reach the facilities. Geographical Information system (GIS) and WebGIS provides the tools for achieving all these things.

This project work involves creating health application database for WebGIS application for CHSS (Contributory Health Service Scheme) beneficiaries of IIRS by using open source tools. This application will provide IIRS employees and students (including CSSTEAP students) information related to the AMO/specialists doctors and medical facilities.

Introduction

Background

Nowadays computers have become the most important tool in many aspects of human life. People should have instant access to the information of the health facilities. Internet serves as the best means of providing such information which could be accessed via mobile or desktop devices. Such instant access to health GIS information will help users in saving time and money to reach the facilities. Geographical Information system (GIS) and WebGIS provides the tools for achieving all these things.

Aim of this project is to develop WebGIS based application for CHSS (Contributory Health Service Scheme) of IIRS by using open source tools. Such open source tools are already developed and it's freely available on internet.

This application will provide IIRS employees and students information related to the AMO/specialists doctors, hospitals/pathology labs in the CHSS panel and searching capabilities based on user location.

Objectives

The main objective of this project is to provide the staff of IIRS with the required information about the health facilities that can serve their needs whenever required by using WebGIS based application. In this paper we only assume how to create database for this WebGIS based application. The objectives are:

Data collection:

Collecting missing Spatial data of specialist doctors, hospitals and pathology labs.

Organizing collected data (new and existing) of CHSS beneficiaries AMOs, doctors, hospitals, pathology labs, etc. in spatial database.

Literature Review

GIS can be used to support health care policy development, analyze public health care parameters, provide critical information in a timely manner, coordinate medical response measures, monitor climatic events, and educate decision makers and general public. The data used in these applications cover the health, environmental, and social economic sources [1]. Common data include hospital and emergency room admissions, ambulance databases, patient's location at the time of incidents, cumulative ambient concentrations obtained from air-monitoring and weather stations, questionnaire survey and interview data, hospital staff data, remote sensing images which were used to extract land cover, groundwater-surface water hydrologic fluxes and water quality data, demographic statistics, and economic vectors. The main types of health GIS applications are discussed in the following subsections.[2]

Health Facility Distribution

GIS provides with the abilities to describe the spatial organization of health care (numbers, types, and locations), examine the changing spatial distribution of health care systems, and explore improvements of health care delivery [3; 4]. The population (age, income, gender, race), access cost (time, distance), health facility capacities have been taken into consideration in health facility planning and distribution evaluation [5; 6]. GIS can be used to identify population segments vulnerable to varied geographical access to critical medical treatment, provide optimal routes for emergency responses, assess resource allocations, Lwasa [7] carried out a study to show the capability of GIS technologies in the provision of information required for the planning of health facilities in Uganda, with the ability to increase access to the public as well as the understanding of spatial distribution of facilities. The use of GIS in health care applications can help stakeholders and policy makers in effectively distributing health care resources to overcome geographical inequalities in accessing health care among different population groups.

Health Care and Education

GIS and the internet technology have brought a new possibility for the general public to visualize and analyze health data. They facilitate public access, awareness, and participation in health decision making. Maps can be created to the general public for alerting them to the distribution of disease agents. Using utilization of maps, it is easier to explain the geographical variation of health exposure. People can be informed about the environmental hazards which are surrounding them and prepare themselves for outbreak of disease. GIS also helps the public for efficiently locating the nearest health facilities. GIS programs and its courses are applied in many medical schools and health associations.

Data Collection

This project work involves collecting data about IIRS CHSS Beneficiaries (both serving and retired), AMOs, Specialist doctors and various medical facilities. Existing spatial and non-spatial data from the past IIRS student project work [8] about CHSS beneficiaries, AMOs, Specialist doctors and various medical facilities were used as the base data for the project.

It was observed that specialist doctor's data was not available. Moreover data on 16 medical facilities were missing from the total of 37 authorized medical facilities.

All missing location of medical facilities and doctors were collected using GPS device. Number of collected locations of medical facilities and doctors were shown below:

16 medical facilities (Hospitals, Clinics, Medical lab, etc.)

14 specialist doctors (Dentil, Child, Skin, Gynecologist & Dermatologist, Neurosurgery & Neurology, Psychiatry Specialist, etc.)

Organizing data

The data collected about CHSS Beneficiaries, AMOs, Specialist Doctors and Medical facilities was initially stored in the excel file and later the data was converted into spatial format (shapefile) using QGIS software. The data was properly organised in shapefile using the below ER diagram.

DataBase Creation

The above created shapefiles were organised and stored in PostGIS databases. For the same OpenGeoSuite[8] was used, which provide all the ingridient including simple interface for creating geo-spatial web based application. It integrates all the major software like Postgresql& PostGIS, geoserver and openlayers in one single pacakge instead of installing and configuring them seperately.

PostGIS along with PostgreSQL was used as backend spatial database. PostGIS is a spatial database extender for PostgreSQL object-relational database. It adds support for geographic objects allowing location queries to be run in SQL. PostGIS Shapefile Import/Exporter tool was used to dump the shapefiles into the backend database.

Similarly all the othetr layers including dehradun ward map was stored in post-

gis.

Conclusions

During Creation of this database for CHSS beneficiaries, it is observed that webmaping is one of the best methods for representing spatial data and location based information. Also there are many open source and already prepared tools which can be used for developing own webGIS application. Number and capability of these tools are improving day by day related to its popularity and needs.

This project involves creating database of WebGIS based application for CHSS (Contributory Health Service Scheme) beneficiaries of IIRS by using open source tools. This application provides IIRS employees and students (including CSSTEAP students) instant access to information related to the AMO/specialists doctors and medical facilities.
