Welcome to OSHPD - Healthcare Atlas – details
The Healthcare Atlas is an interactive mapping application using hospital and other healthcare facility data including facility locations, financial and utilizations reports, and patient level summaries. Patient origin and market share maps can be created dynamically with the California Healthcare Atlas. The supporting data warehouse currently contains 68 Million patient records while adding 16 Million annually. The Healthcare Atlas is a work in progress as we continue to learn and evolve our thinking about how to effectively deliver healthcare information to a diverse public audience. Your constructive comments are welcomed and can be sent to the GIS Webmaster.
