2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 Web-Based Document Archival System for U.S. Army CHPPM Track: Federal Government Systems Author(s): Patrick Dickinson, Shannon Lowe Expanding on traditional methods of storing reports and assessments, the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine (USACHPPM) has developed a web-based application designed to display, archive, and disseminate occupational and environmental health surveillance (OEHS) data, which is vital to assigning potential health risk to deployed soldiers. Adding spatial context to this data allows users to graphically search for available documentation on specific sites of interest, as well as offering a graphic overview of the extent of work being done throughout a country, region, or Combatant Command (COCOM). This application, developed using ArcIMS, SQL Server, and ASP .NET, represents a significant shift in USACHPPM's use of information. As more data is incorporated into the system, spatial relationships and historical patterns begin to emerge making this tool useful for Preventive Medicine personnel in the field or stateside by planners and decision makers.
