2. Social Determinants of Health SDOH Neighborhood and Built Environment Health and Health Care Social and Community Context Education Economic Stability
3. Background and Previous Research Case Study Emerging Health Issues at the National Level (Epidemiology)
4. Where and when might Avian Flu appear in North America? Now found in East Asia, India, Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Western Europe Fewer than 200 human cases … but mortality rate exceeds 50% Economic impact …billions of dollars nationally.

15. Montgomery County United Way Councils and Goals: 1. Health and Wellness - Increase the number of residents in Montgomery County living at a healthy weight by 10% by 2020. 2. Education - Increase the percentage of students who complete post- secondary education and/or job training after high school. 3. Financial Independence - Reduce the rate of financially unstable households by 20% by 2020.
24. Health Care Assets and Gap Mapping In San Jose, Costa Rica
25. UNIBE-SHSU Goals • UNIBE (1995) - Established to improve higher education in the Health Sciences and Medical Training • SHSU (1879) - Established to improve higher education, including expanding Health Sciences and Medical Training • Team Goals: • Create informed, healthy, and thriving communities • Dedicated to building a Health Science Program to create the workforce • Appreciate the benefits of a formal long-term and mutually beneficial collaboration in Health Care • To start – jointly develop a GIS focused health care pilot project to attract additional funding for an operational system
26. Proposed Pilot Project Architecture - UNIBE - INEC UNIBE
28. UNIBE
46. Food Sources
47. Pilot Project & Future Data Analysis & Mapping Opportunities 1) Map and analyze food deserts 2) Initiate a pilot project using digital pens to automate the input of community health data for 10 clinics 3) Analyze monthly UNIBE clinic health data (Trends and resource allocation) 4) Map “Friendships” in a community – Methodology TBD 5) Map community “Compassion”- TBD
48. Projected Health Care System Market Place
49. Advanced Technology Integration: Digital Pen Data Capture
50. Advanced Technology Integration 1. Global Positioning System (GPS) 2. Geographic Information System (GIS) 3. Digital Pen (to Streamline Data Capture) 4. Dashboard (to View Spatial Data)
52. “Dashboard” visualization of data associated with cancer cases.
53. Conclusion: Integration, analysis, and visualization of geospatial data can enable informed decision making in health care. Thank You
