The document discusses how location data and spatial analytics can improve health care and welfare services by increasing coordination, cost efficiency, quality, and access. Location technology integrates multiple data sources onto interactive maps to provide insights and reveal patterns that strengthen decision-making for optimizing services. Spatial analysis of supply and demand helps identify geographic patterns and improve network operations and strategic planning for large health and welfare organizations.

6. Decision making requires spatial component
Spatial analytics helps us to identify
geographical patterns in supply and demand
Services can be improved with Spatial
Analytics

7. Running a large service network without
spatial analytics is mostly impossible
Most of the data has a spatial dimension
The operative, tactical and strategic
decisions have a spatial component
Most of the offered services follow the rules
of supply and demand

8. Location technology
integrates multiple
sources of information —
like IoT, CRM, ERP and
ECM — onto interactive,
real-time maps and
visualizations based on
data and analytics

9. Spatial analysis can
provide unique insights,
revealing patterns and
relationships that drive
stronger decision
making

10. Location technology’s
applications are broad,
ranging from optimizing
supply chain, to using
real-time updates for
paramedics, to dialing
in service mix for
healthcare, to welfare
planning
