Abstract

Using GIS Apps for Sharing County Health Data and Healthcare Resources
Track: Public Health
Authors: Nikiya Simpson

Our web-based repository of maps and reports allow community members to visualize social-economic and behavioral factors for health, access to health care, and outcomes focusing on chronic diseases prevalent in Arkansas. We focus on public health indicators by county and other local regions that can be used for program planning and finding health care resources. ArcGIS Online helps us to transform our maps into a responsive design capable of reaching more users through mobile applications.
