The document discusses the need for data to help control epidemics among key populations. It emphasizes using surveillance data to target interventions, link HIV-positive key populations to clinical care, and measure program coverage. The document also examines balancing data transparency, utility, and privacy risks when sharing granular versus aggregated internal and public health data.
The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation is a global health institute that provides scientific measurements and evaluations of population health. It collects various types of health-related data, including social determinants, risks factors, population surveys, and facility data. However, health data is often difficult to access due to issues like privacy, capacity, and a sense of ownership. Health Data Innovation is changing this by encouraging data sharing through open data portals, funding for innovation, and engaging individuals to manage and share their own health data. This enables a virtuous cycle where more data is collected and shared, fueling further innovation and making more timely data available.
This document summarizes a presentation on monitoring and evaluation given at an end-of-phase event on May 22, 2014. It discusses responsive M&E systems for program success and the importance of building national M&E capacity. It provides examples of tools and approaches used by MEASURE Evaluation to support countries, including developing M&E guidelines, training curricula, and providing technical assistance. Challenges in M&E like implementation, coordination and measuring achievements are also noted. The presentation emphasizes adapting local M&E systems as contexts change from malaria control to elimination.
We may be nowhere near eradicating Dengue, but we may be able to prevent it more effectively. Through Time-Series Modeling and geospatial mapping, Team Flex was able to predict and forecast cases and deaths up to 4 months and identify potential dengue hotspots in selected cities of the CALABARZON region.
The global threat of disease outbreaks is real and it is felt more than ever now as the world struggles to contain the spread of a certain virus. But before it even created a pandemic, there is already another disease that threatens our existence, perhaps has been doing so for the longest time – Dengue.
Dengue affects thousands of lives each year and continues to be a major public health problem in the Philippines.
In the last year alone, the Philippines experienced the worst dengue outbreak since 2012 as reported cases reached beyond epidemic thresholds. On top of that, the delayed reporting of official case and death counts makes it even more difficult to pinpoint heavily dengue affected areas early on and initiate a targeted public health response. To address this problem, Team Flex members, Janine Padilla, Mox Ballo, and Rache Melendres, developed a publicly accessible web application
that can be used by concerned government agencies and public health officials to predict the spread of dengue and visualize potential breeding sites of mosquitoes.

ODF III - 3.15.16 - Day Two Morning SessionsMichael Kerr
Slide presentations delivered during morning sessions of Day Two of the California Statewide Health and Human Services Open DataFest - March 14 - 15, 2016, Sacramento, CA
Patients’ own expectations for technology are growing and they have shared that digital technologies need to become more integral in the care delivery process. In the U.S., nearly half of Americans would opt for online capabilities vs. handling over the phone, such as getting lab test results, filling out paperwork ahead of a doctor’s appointment, accessing their medical records, and filling prescriptions. Given the increasing desire for a tech-driven care experience, patients are helping to spur technology adoption by their providers.
As the population ages, technology adoption and information exchange within the long term and post-acute care settings becomes increasingly more important. How can post-acute care agencies overcome challenges of limited resources (financial and workforce) to bring patient care delivery into the 21st century? Patients who take prescription medications for chronic conditions are also feeling the pain from a lack of tech-adoption when their doctors typically don’t offer them access to online condition management tools or make themselves available online or via email for questions. Dr. Van Terheyden will discuss what needs to happen to break down these barriers.

Perceptions of mHealth Applications among Parents in a Large Pediatric Health...Adeiyewunmi Osinubi
This study examined parents' attitudes towards mobile health apps for their children's healthcare. The researchers surveyed 176 parents across various healthcare settings. They found that most parents used their smartphones to look up health information, and about a third had downloaded mobile health apps. However, the majority of parents were concerned about privacy and security of their children's health information on apps. While lower-income parents were more worried about app costs, race alone did not predict cost concerns after accounting for income. The results suggest financial assistance may be needed for low-income families to use mobile health apps, and privacy protections are important for all users.
1) The role of health care data analysts is evolving as the volume of available data grows exponentially. With zettabytes of data being generated, analysts must make sense of both structured and unstructured information.
2) Data analytics can provide insights to improve patient outcomes, lower costs, and enhance the health care experience. Examples show how visualizing data helps health systems better understand utilization and identify at-risk patients.
3) As incentives shift from fee-for-service to value-based models, health systems must transform to focus on population health. Advanced analytics and predictive modeling will be crucial to achieving the goals of better care, lower costs, and improved health.

Todd Barr is a data bard who works in precision agriculture. Precision agriculture involves using spatial data and analysis to solve agricultural problems. Todd spends most of his time gathering and cleaning data, building models with spatial libraries in R like gstat and geoR, and disseminating results with maps created using leaflet and ggplot. He relies heavily on R's rich set of spatial libraries and packages for his work.
FOSS4G refers to free and open source software for geospatial applications. Using FOSS4G provides benefits like increased flexibility, rapid innovation, lower costs, and ability to customize software to specific needs. Spatial SQL allows querying and analyzing spatial data in databases by treating geometry as another data type. PostGIS is an open source spatial database extender for PostgreSQL that allows GIS functions and spatial indexing to be used in queries. PostGIS supports common spatial functions and data types and provides better performance than desktop GIS software or file-based formats for large-scale spatial analysis and management tasks.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.
