Health Resources and Services Administration Geospatial Data Warehouse Track: Health and Human Services Author(s): Terri Cohen, Robert Palmer, Joseph Weyl, Keith Adams, Julie Baitty This paper describes how the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Geospatial Data Warehouse (HGDW) supports the HRSA mission: improving the availability of and access to quality health care for all. HRSA directs financial resources by operating grant, loan and scholarship programs. The HGDW provides information about HRSA programs and related health resources, demographic data, and serves as the foundation for geospatial data analysis. The HGDW architecture couples Esri's ArcSDE software with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 utilizing a customized ArcIMS/Hyperion Performance Server interface to provide web-based user access. Through these technologies, the HGDW report and map tools facilitate information integration in support of HRSA business practices including health planning and policy-making in a geographic context.
