Health and Safety of Tribal Nations

Paving the path to a brighter future

Address health and safety challenges with ArcGIS

Tribal nations have struggled with accessing health equity and safety for decades. Through collaborative efforts and data management, understand the connection between where things are happening and where service gaps exist. With a location-based strategy, leaders can deliver programs and services that align with health needs, find hot spots where resources should be allocated, monitor progress, and more. GIS technology can underscore gaps in the population not yet reached and mitigate against unforeseen events. Applied GIS leads to improved health outcomes, increased accessibility to health care, and healthier communities.

Improve health equity and access to services

  • Achieve network adequacy

    Ensure that tribal members can have reasonable access to health services. Location intelligence supports network optimization by identifying those with special needs and lets organizations focus on mitigating the impacts of social determinants of health.

  • Connect people to services

    Improve processes for connecting tribespeople with health services to ensure health care for all who need it. GIS allows you to offer health care based on population needs, address disparities in accessibility, provide key metrics, and inform and educate patients.

  • Monitor performance

    Successfully address health inequities with GIS. Use applications and dashboards to improve situational awareness and address issues in real time. Set baselines, monitor progress in at-risk areas, and be transparent with members of the community on their performance.
