Medical Applications of a Spatial Data Management System
TL;DRAbstract
Spatial Data Management (SDMS) is a technique for organizing, viewing and manipulating information by representing it as pictograms and positioning these pictograms in a spatial framework. SDMS can provide uniform access to data from conventional databases, user-created graphical spaces and selected computer-based medical tools. This paper describes the design of the current SDMS and explores two applications in medical care to which SDMS is particularly well-suited — medical administration and management of medical information. When SDMS techniques are applied to resource scheduling, the resulting system assists medical administrators to anticipate and plan for patient flow, staffing levels, and resource utilization. When applied to the management of medical information, SDMS provides a unified interface to diverse patient care and medical history databases.
