Using a Geographical-Information-System-Based Decision Support to Enhance Malaria Vector Control in Zambia
Geographic information systems (GISs) with emerging technologies are being harnessed for studying spatial patterns in vector-borne diseases to reduce transmission. To implement effective vector control, increased knowledge on interactions of epidemiological and entomological malaria transmission determinants in the assessment of impact of interventions is critical. This requires availability of...
متن کاملAn example of decision support for trypanosomiasis control using a geographical information system in eastern Zambia
In many African countries where both Government resources and donor aid for the control of tsetse-transmitted trypanosomiasis are declining, there is an increasing need to identify areas where intervention is most likely to be technically, economically, socially and environmentally sustainable. Activities then can be focused so that the maximum bene ts are obtained from limited resources. We d...

متن کاملClinical Decision Support System to Enhance Quality Control of Spirometry Using Information and Communication Technologies
BACKGROUND We recently demonstrated that quality of spirometry in primary care could markedly improve with remote offline support from specialized professionals. It is hypothesized that implementation of automatic online assessment of quality of spirometry using information and communication technologies may significantly enhance the potential for extensive deployment of a high quality spiromet...
متن کاملUsing a geographical information system to plan a malaria control programme in South Africa.
INTRODUCTION Sustainable control of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa is jeopardized by dwindling public health resources resulting from competing health priorities that include an overwhelming acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic. In Mpumalanga province, South Africa, rational planning has historically been hampered by a case surveillance system for malaria that only provided estimat...
