  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. • Assessment includes determining the health needs of the community by establishing a systematic process that periodically provides pertinent health information. Institute of Medicine (1988) The Future of Public Health

  6. Why do 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.

  7. Why “Indicator-Based?” • GAO found that comprehensive key indicator systems: • enhanced collaboration to address public issues, • encouraged 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.

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

  10. 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

  11. 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

  14. HOW?

  15. 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.

  16. NM-IBIS System Architecture IBIS-View IBIS-Admin IBIS-Q (query)

  17. Vocabulary • Name vs. Title – “Title” is always the label that is shown to the end user, “name” is the unique identifier in the DB.

  18. IBIS-Admin site - http://dohnocm238:8080/ibisph-admin-2

  19. 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.

  20. Graphical View of Indicator Report Graph Values View of Indicator Report

  21. Vocabulary • Data can be text. Text can be data. Anything in the IBIS Admin 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.

  22. 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

  23. As Always: • Contact DOH-IBIS Indicator Support Team if you have questions or need technical assistance. • Please update your indicators as soon as new data become available. • Email DOH-IBIS Indicator Support Team when you have completed your changes and your indicator needs to be republished.

  24. Next Steps… • Contact the IBIS Indicator Support Team to tell us your indicator title and what graphs you will be publishing. • Gay and Lois will create your DB records. • You use the IBIS-Admin site to create your Web page content. • Let us know when you’re ready to publish.

  25. Next Steps… • Email address for NM-IBIS Indicator Support Team: DOH-IBIS Indicator Support Team@state.nm.us (Type in ‘DOH-IBIS’ in address book.) • Email us to: • Set up a new indicator • Technical assistance • Publish your indicator

  26. Next Steps… • IBIS-Admin Website: http://dohnocm238:8080/DataAdmin

  27. And: • Let us know how we can improve the site. • Let us know if your group would like a hands-on training session. • Thank you for using IBIS Admin to maintain your indicator page content!!
