The telecommunications industry continues to invest billions of dollars in mobile satellite (MSAT) systems Combining geographic information systems with several existing data sources, the San Diego County Division of Emergency Medical Services has developed a fully integrated injury surveillance geographic information system (ISGIS). Use of the system allows for a proactive approach to public health surveillance and helps bolster several multidisciplinary community-based programs. The ISGIS system processes fatal and nonfatal motor vehicle-related crash injury data elements, allowing emergency medical services providers to create subregional maps specific to any data element or series of elements. This system provides for more in-depth knowledge of the cause-and-effect relationship of different types of traffic crashes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
