A user can define which combination of values to obtain for respiratory disease (by name/type or ICD9&10 MRD codes), as well as gender, age, admission period, statistical methods, classification methods, legend range, geometry/scale. Web Processing Services
One of our Community Outreach Programs, Asthma Camps, is designed to assist children with chronic asthma, their guardians, healthcare providers, peers and the general public to recognize, assist and respond to the many issues surrounding this debilitating disease. Asthma Camps
The New Brunswick Lung Association maintains an historical database on Asthma hospitalization cases in the province dating back to 1990. Data is stripped of personal identifiers, but retains a postal code for geo-referencing purposes. Data is masked, aggregated, and statistically altered before being mapped. Asthma Camps
Health outcome data (e.g. ICD 9 and 10, hospital discharge) is integrated with corresponding population and geospatial parameters, then statistically modeled. Asthma Camps
Statistical outputs are in turn mapped according to several geometric features (available on our WFS): Provincial boundaries, Health Regions, Census Divisions (Counties), Census Subdivisions (Municipalities), Forward Sortation Areas, Dissemination Areas. Asthma Camps
When the spatial distribution of Asthma Camp participants’ origins overlays the spatial distribution of Asthma hospitalization outcomes, our program directors, project funders, healthcare planners and providers are readily able to determine significant historical gaps and future opportunities for the Program.
