Mapping Applications

HRSA Geospatial Data Warehouse

Content Summary: The HRSA Geospatial Data Warehouse and its associated applications provide HRSA with access to a broad range of information about HRSA programs, related health resources, and demographic data useful for planning and policy purposes. A data warehouse is a centralized store of an organization's data resources implemented specifically for query, reporting, and analysis purposes.

The Interactive Atlas of Reproductive Health

Content Summary: The Interactive Atlas of Reproductive Health is an online geographic information system (GIS) that is dedicated to reproductive health issues such as infant mortality, fertility and low birth weight. The thematic maps generated are visual representations of reproductive health data based on their geographic location. The county-level data has been spatially smoothed to allow the viewer to easily recognize clusters and other spatial associations. An interactive table can be displayed in a separate window at the same time as an interactive map. Each window contains elements that can be manipulated independently; such as, sorting table columns or adding an additional layer outline to the map.The Atlas strength lies in the richness of its database. The Atlas allows for specific types of comparisons across time, geography, and population groups. An almost infinite choice of comparisons can be made between and among the risk and demographic characteristics of the population. As the Atlas evolves, more information will be available on the Web site regarding updates, opportunities for data use, actual case studies, and technical notes. Currently, the Atlas uses data from the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The datasets provide a 'snapshot' in time, and have been restricted to eliminate identifiable information. Therefore indicators derived from the Atlas may differ slightly from those provided by a local or state health department or an analysis performed by other published health statistics sources. The atlas has two major sections. The first includes the interactive pages that provide an extensive series of national, regional, and state maps and tables of reproductive health indicator rates by selected demographic and risk groups in the United States and territories. The second features help pages that explain geographic information science and systems; define the indicators and the demographic and risk options; and explain how to use the interactive portion of the site.Six reproductive health indicator groups are currently available for analysis' fetal and infant mortality, pregnancy outcomes, maternal risks, teen risks, infant health, and maternal interventions. These indicators can be displayed as maps or tables by time, geographic level (state, county or metropolitan statistical area), geographic view (national, regional, or state), and different demographic and risk categories. There are an estimated 6 million displays that can be generated.

Grants

Content Summary: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) awards over 90 percent of its appropriated funds through grants to assure access to essential health care for underserved populations and to eliminate health disparities. Each year, HRSA makes over 6,000 individual grant awards. The HRSA grants data is extracted from the HRSA Electronic Handbook (EHB) which is the information system that tracks the day-to-day transactions associated with HRSA's grant business.
