Rural Health Data Atlas-Data Visualization and Analysis Platform

Summary

The South Dakota Rural Health Data Atlas is a state-led initiative to transform how rural communities access and use health data. Today, critical health data is siloed across numerous systems, requiring communities, hospitals, Tribal Nations, and state agencies to navigate multiple systems and request processes to obtain a complete picture of local health. To address these challenges, the South Dakota Department of Health (SD DOH) is developing a publicly-accessible, cloud-based platform that consolidates health data into a single, interactive environment, featuring maps, charts, tables, and point-and-click analysis tools. The result will be a centralized, state-owned Microsoft Azure tenant cloud-based data visualization and distribution platform. The Rural Health Data Atlas will enable data-driven decision-making and will serve as a point of dissemination of Rural Health Transformation outcome measures, empowering hospitals, community coalitions, state agencies, rural health clinics, Tribal nations, and research organizations.
