Ric Skinner, also known as healthGISguy, has an excellent article up at Directions Magazine, examining the role of GIS in supporting emergency management in hospitals and healthcare. In it, he includes a list of questions that healthcare facilities might have, which sound like great Depiction scenarios/ Here are a few examples that fit particularly well:

• Will the high water affect access to our alternate care site?
• Where are the hospitals in my region with available burn beds right now?
• Is my hospital at a greater hazard risk due to dam inundation than my health clinic one mile away?
• Where can I most effectively and safely establish points of distribution for H1N1 vaccine?

Overall, Skinner gives an excellent explanation of the need for GIS in healthcare and emergency management--something we're passionate about here. For some examples of how Depiction can answer questions like the above, see our nursing home evacuation sample depiction, or our recent H1N1 clinic video.
