A generic method for improving the spatial interoperability of medical and ecological databases. Ghenassia, A., Beuscart, J. B., Ficheur, G., Occelli, F., Babykina, E., Chazard, E., & Genin, M. International Journal of Health Geographics, 16(1):36, October, 2017.
Paper doi abstract bibtex The availability of big data in healthcare and the intensive development of data reuse and georeferencing have opened up perspectives for health spatial analysis. However, fine-scale spatial studies of ecological and medical databases are limited by the change of support problem and thus a lack of spatial unit interoperability. The use of spatial disaggregation methods to solve this problem introduces errors into the spatial estimations. Here, we present a generic, two-step method for merging medical and ecological databases that avoids the use of spatial disaggregation methods, while maximizing the spatial resolution.
