ArcGIS can be used to:
Understand public health issues
Different communities may face very different public health issues and therefore need equally different health services. Use Esri UK’s InstantAtlas Data Observatory service to better understand health inequalities and develop new health services to meet the future needs of a changing population.
Allocate resources optimally
With huge demands on community healthcare services, local authorities and their appointed care providers need to ensure resources are fully optimised. Find out how Oxfordshire County Council is using ArcGIS to allocate new clients to the nearest care providers and optimise routes between clients, to provide support for more people in their own homes.
Improve quality of life
Far too often, social workers and other community-based care professionals waste a lot of their valuable time collecting data with pen and paper and then typing it up into IT systems. Find out how adult care teams at Worcestershire County Council use ArcGIS in the field to collect, verify and share information quickly and help create a better quality of life for vulnerable citizens.
Promote health and wellbeing
Local authorities have a responsibility to encourage citizens to adopt healthier and more active lifestyles, to improve their long term health and wellbeing. See how Cherwell District Council has used an ArcGIS StoryMap to engage with citizens, increase awareness of the locations of sports facilities and green spaces, and promote new initiatives to reduce health inequalities.
