Standard Occupational Classification (SOC): Cartographers and Photogrammetrists

Cartographers and photogrammetrists in healthcare facilities may work on a variety of projects related to spatial data and mapping. Some possible roles for cartographers and photogrammetrists in healthcare settings could include:

Mapping hospital campus layouts: Cartographers and photogrammetrists may work on creating maps of hospital campuses that show the locations of buildings, parking areas, and other facilities. These maps can be used by patients, staff, and visitors to navigate the hospital campus.

Creating patient flow maps: Cartographers and photogrammetrists may work on creating maps that show how patients move through the hospital, including their visits to different departments and units. These maps can help hospital administrators understand patient flow and identify bottlenecks or areas where improvements can be made.

Mapping disease outbreaks: Cartographers and photogrammetrists may work on creating maps that show the geographic distribution of disease outbreaks. These maps can be used by healthcare professionals to identify patterns and trends in the spread of diseases and help guide public health interventions.

Mapping healthcare resources: Cartographers and photogrammetrists may work on creating maps that show the locations of healthcare resources such as hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies. These maps can help healthcare professionals and policymakers understand the availability and accessibility of healthcare services in different areas.

In addition to these tasks, cartographers and photogrammetrists in healthcare settings may also be involved in data analysis and visualization, GIS (geographic information systems) development, and other related tasks. They should have strong skills in spatial data analysis, map design, and software tools such as GIS software.
