在本文中，我们利用现有的文献，突出学术健康为基础的应用地理信息系统（GIS）和日常使用的英国国民健康服务（NHS）之间的差距差距。我们提供了在一系列医疗保健应用中使用地理信息系统所产生的运营效益的例子，同时承认这些技术在战略卫生任务中的使用有限。最近的政策变化的影响，未来预计使用这些系统进行了讨论，然后提出一个研究议程，实现地理信息系统的潜力在NHS。本文最后再次强调使用地理信息系统的重要性，在战略卫生规划的背景下，在最近的医疗保健结构调整和新技术的发展，在卫生服务。(C)2001爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
In this paper we draw on the existing literature to highlight the gap between academic health-based applications of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and their everyday use within the UK National Health Service (NHS). We provide examples of the operational benefits accruing from using GIs in a range of health care applications whilst acknowledging the limited use of such technologies in strategic health tasks. The implications of recent policy changes for future projected use of such systems are discussed before presenting a research agenda for realising GIs potential within the NHS. The paper concludes by re-emphasising the importance of using GIs in strategic health planning contexts in the light of both recent health-care restructuring and new technological developments in the health service.
