  1. IBIS-Admin New Mexico’s Web-based, Public Health Indicator, Content Management System

  2. Outline • What? (IBIS-PH) • Why? (Public Health Assessment) • Who? (IBIS Indicator Roles) • How? (IBIS Admin site) • Related Issues

  3. WHAT?

  4. Public site - http://ibis.health.state.nm.us

  5. Assessment Function of Public Health • One of the core functions in public health, assessment is the systematic collection, assembly, analysis, and dissemination of information about the health of a community. Institute of Medicine (1988) The Future of Public Health

  6. Assessment includes: • Determining the health needs of the community by establishing a systematic process that periodically provides pertinent health information. • Investigating adverse health events and health hazards by conducting timely investigations that identify the magnitude of health problems, including their duration, trends, location, and at-risk populations. • Analyzing the determinants of identified health problems to determine the reasons why certain populations are at risk for adverse health outcomes.

  7. WHY?

  8. Importance of Assessment • Without accurate information on the health status of a community and a clear understanding of the available resources, we cannot make informed decisions about which areas should have priority, which policies might be effective, or which interventions might be possible to implement.

  9. Why “Indicator-Based?” • GAO found that comprehensive key indicator systems had positive effects in four areas: • enhanced collaboration to address public issues, • tools to encourage progress, • informed decision making and improved research, • increased public knowledge about key issues Government Accountability Office (GAO). Informing Our Nation. Improving how to understand the USA’s position and Progress. November 2004. Accessed 1/5/2007 online at http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d051.pdf.

  10. IBIS-PH • IBIS-PH was developed in the Utah Department of Health. • We use IBIS Indicators to: • publish data for priority health objectives • promote better understanding of public health issues • disseminate data and information on public health topics

  11. WHO?

  12. IBIS Indicator Roles • IBIS Admin Team • Indicator Authors • Indicator Editors

  13. IBIS Admin Team (DOH-IBIS Indicator Support Team) • Maintain infrastructure • Set up new indicators and new graphs • Provide training and technical assistance to indicator authors and editors • Allow system access to indicator authors and editors assisting in updating indicator information • Publish completed indicators to the public site

  14. IBIS Indicator Authors • Make decisions about measure inclusion, definitions, data display and presentation, • Provide public health context, enter and update indicator Web content • Assign indicator editors • Provide feedback on training and on the IBIS Admin website and • Approve indicators for publishing

  15. IBIS Indicator Editors • Assist the authors in maintaining the Web content for their indicator(s)

  16. IBIS Indicator Roles • In General: • Authors make decisions • Editors and IBISAdminTeam implement them

  17. HOW?

  18. IBIS-Admin site - http://dohnocm238:8080/DataAdmin

  19. Internet HTTP Request (URL) HTTP Response (HTML) IBIS Architecture HTTP Request (URL) HTTP Response (HTML, XML) Business Logic Tier - Application Server Dedicated IBIS resource. Processes requests from Internet according to relevant business logic, stores IBIS View System (Web page content for IBIS indicators, XML for query system interface pages), transmits HTML to Web server. Data Tier – SAS, SQL Server Shared UDOH resource. Processes requests from Application server. Stores IBIS-Q CGI application and SAS datasets. Stores IBIS-Admin application and Admin database.

  22. Indicator View Values Admin DB, Relational DB Entities (Tables)

  23. Indicator Attributes (Table Fields)

  24. Indicator View Attributes (Fields)

  25. Indicator View Value Attributes (Fields)

  26. Vocabulary • An indicator “View” is a graph • Series and Category • Category: Values along the X-axis • Series: If there is more than one datapoint for a category, there is more than one series. e.g., male and female. The series labels are identified in the legend.

  27. Vocabulary • Data can be text. Text can be data. Anything in the IBISAdmin database is considered “data.” To be clear, we try to use the word “content” to refer broadly to your indicator Web page content, but we may slip up and call it data. Just so you know.

  28. Vocabulary • Name vs. Title – Title is always the label that is shown to the end user, name is the unique identifier in the DB. • Category vs. Series • Indicator vs. Indicator View (Graph)

  29. Illegal characters • IBIS uses only pure text characters. You may have problems (e.g., can’t preview) if you copy/paste from MSWord or other programs. • Known issues: • “directional quotation marks” • Emdash – the two dashes put together • Some end of line hidden characters

  30. 2009 Legislative Session • Legislators will be notified re: NM-IBIS Website and indicators. • Shoot for all indicators updated by January 1st.
