Slide deck for the paper presented at the 2019 Conference on Information Systems Applied Research (CONISAR), Cleveland, OH, on November 8, 2019. The objective of this paper is to describe the methods used to develop geographic information systems (GIS) dashboard tool and explain how it can assist nonprofit hospitals to identify priority neighborhoods. Multiple data sources from the 500 Cities Project databases were analyzed, and two online dashboards were created. The first dashboard is a hospital-specific composite dashboard, and the second is a comparison dashboard of health outcomes identified by both the hospital and the county’s community health needs assessment focused on neighborhood-level disparities. Hospital-specific health outcomes were Stroke, Diabetes, and Coronary Heart Disease. County-specific health outcomes were Obesity, Dental, and Mental Health. All of the six health outcomes were standardized, rescaled, and weighted within the final composite score. Tableau was used for developing the dashboards and geographically mapping the analyzed data. The maps were developed specifically for a large hospital in Florida; however, this methodology can be utilized by other hospitals across the US. City-specific data is essential to ensure the accuracy of community health needs. The development of an interactive, comprehensive map using Tableau is a useful tool for visualizing target neighborhoods for community health outreach. The integration of community needs assessment findings into the development of composite scores allows hospitals in the US to use this tool to inform community health outreach strategy adequately.

Design Science Research Methodology
Mayo Clinic wanted a tool to view
health disparities data at the
community level as well as rank and
select communities to implement
public health improvement programs
Problem:
Composite scores for
ranking communities
based on health
disparities data as well
as developed Tableau
Dashboards
Solution:
Collaborative
community
engagement
triad
Process:
Dashboards provide a snapshot of public health data available for Jacksonville (Duval) county area
Data and tool needs to be updated as current data are made available
Subjective  Objective decision making
Moving from gut-based decision making to data-driven decision making
