Applications of GIS: Disaster Management and Emergency Response

615
Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is essential for risk identification, action prioritization, and resource optimization in critical situations like flooding and earthquakes. By integrating spatial and demographic data, GIS provides a comprehensive framework for emergency response.GIS integrates data layers, like rainfall intensity, topography, elevation profiles, and river levels, to model high-risk flood zones. These layers assess areas susceptible to flooding based on their...

Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment

347
Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...

Assessment of Diffusion and Perfusion01:17

Assessment of Diffusion and Perfusion

1.9K
Understanding and evaluating diffusion and perfusion is critical in assessing a patient's respiratory and circulatory health. These processes play key roles in maintaining the body's internal environment, ensuring that tissues receive adequate oxygen while waste products are efficiently removed.
The Role of Diffusion in Respiration
Diffusion is the process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In the respiratory system, this...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Informatics
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Prescription drug misuse and diversion pose significant public health challenges.
  • Effective tools are needed to support healthcare providers in preventing drug abuse.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of Diversion Alert, an online tool, on reducing prescription drug misuse and diversion.
  • To assess changes in prescriber and pharmacist practices in Maine following the implementation of Diversion Alert.

Main Methods:

  • A quasi-experimental research design was employed, comparing survey data from Maine with neighboring states (New Hampshire and Vermont).
  • Data were collected for the years 2013 and 2014.

Main Results:

  • Prescribers and pharmacists in Maine using Diversion Alert demonstrated increased communication with patients and other providers.
  • Users reported heightened awareness of patient arrests for drug possession or diversion.
  • Healthcare professionals in Maine more frequently employed best practices for addiction and diversion prevention/detection.
  • Participants attributed positive changes in prescribing habits to Diversion Alert.

Conclusions:

  • Diversion Alert may be an effective tool for preventing the misuse of opioid medications.
  • The tool, when combined with other state and federal programs, can contribute to combating prescription drug abuse.
