GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) IN OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE. WORKING METHODOLOGY
Abstract:
It started from the premise that, through the development of methods and algorithms for the automatic and semiautomatic selection of data, conclusive connections can be obtained regarding the determination of areolas of presence for: diagnostic and treatment units in the field of Occupational Medicine and work-related diseases in Arad County, but also at national level. The creation of geographic information system with data regarding Occupational Medicine in Arad County considers the county-level information system analysis, existing software versions and how to input data and calculate the indicators based on provided data format. Creating the project database is the most critical and time consuming part within the whole project. The accuracy of data included in the project determinates the accuracy of results. GIS model for Occupational Medicine in Arad County considers the present existing territorization, which is different from the physical and geographical conditions, hydrology, climate. The final results we expect from the GIS project are: occupational risk factors, standard rate of occupational diseases incidence and those related to profession, on localities, in 2010, the number of Occupational Physicians at 1000 habitants in 2010, the number of occupational medicine offices at 1000 habitants in 2010.
