Abstract
In August 2011, scientists and policy-makers held a conference entitled "Using IT to Improve Community Health: How Health Care Reform Supports Innovation." One of the conference sessions was entitled "Geo-mapping: Framing health needs and issues as an individual and community concern." This Meeting Report describes how geographical information systems can be used to analyze health-related data for medical care and policy making.
