New SAVI tools are helping
researchers and public health
professionals in Central
Indiana explore geographic,
socio-economic, and time
trends to develop a clearer
picture of chronic disease and
its social determinants. Check
out SAVI Advanced to explore
your own data.
Electronic health records were not developed to
measure community health, so Polis and Regenstrief
used SAVI to geo-locate the records and link them to
community data. The project partners narrowed the
set of potential community health indicators to align
with the interests of public health stakeholders.
Once they determine what information in the
health records will be used to indicate a specific
health condition of interest, they can map the data
by neighborhood to allow public health departments
to learn what diseases affect each community and
determine population risk more precisely. Additionally,
SAVI’s robust data can help reveal what social
conditions are present in areas where certain diseases
are more prevalent.
Thanks to SAVI and the collaboration among The
Polis Center, the Regenstrief Institute, the IU Richard
M. Fairbanks School of Public Health, and the Marion
County Public Health Department, Central Indiana is
at the forefront of the practice of mapping data for
improving public health.
