GIS and General Practice: Where are we going and when will we get there?

The report, auspiced by the Australian Primary Health Care Research Institute (APHCRI) Visiting Fellowship Program, focuses on a visit by an APHCRI Fellow to the American Academy of Family Physicians’ Robert Graham Center for Policy Studies in the latter part of 2007. 

The purposed of the visit, and this report, is to help summarise the current state of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in health, compare the primary care/general practice workforces of the two countries and focus on a new web-GIS tool, HealthLandscape, developed by the Robert Graham Center. 

This report will also provide some reflections, from the visit, on future areas of collaboration between APHCRI and the Robert Graham Center.
