List of Indicators in OASIS
What can you do with OASIS?
Indicators in each tool are selectable by a variety of population, disease, and survey characteristics. Where applicable, you can choose data by age groups, race, ethnicity, sex (person), census tract, county commission district, county, health district, legislative district, perinatal region, state (place), and year (time).
All tables, charts and maps pertain to place of residence, except crash data which is by place of occurrence.
What can OASIS do for you?
OASIS plays an integral role in program planning, which includes determining target population areas, formulating financial plans, monitoring program effectiveness, program evaluation and reporting program outcomes.
Use OASIS data querying tools to:
- Develop profiles and report cards for counties or districts
- Assess community health needs, prioritize health problems, and evaluate programs
- Assemble data for grant writing, health analysis, special projects or state legislative reporting
- Examine data by census tract to identify high risk populations, and allocate resources
- Identify areas that contribute a disproportionate share of a health issue
- Target problem areas to analyze specific health problems and outcomes
- Create a basis for health communications or health advocacy
- Apply GIS to analyze varied environmental risks focused on disease process, economic status and other environmental variables that influence health outcomes
- Map several geographic areas to compare varied health outcomes
Trust OASIS to:
- Present data more efficiently
- Save substantial staff time
- Decrease potential for errors in calculations
- Have the flexibility to retrieve and display information in different formats
