Summary
This scoping review examines public health data dashboards, analyzing their design, use, and impact to improve future development. It synthesizes current practices to create a framework for effective dashboard implementation and evaluation.
Area of Science:
- Public Health Informatics
- Data Visualization
- Health Systems Research
Background:
- The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the need for robust public health data systems and accessible data dashboards.
- Public health data dashboards are increasingly common, necessitating research on their integration with data systems and decision-making processes.
- A fragmented body of literature exists on the purpose, design, implementation, and decision-support capabilities of these dashboards.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a descriptive and thematic overview of national public health data dashboards.
- To examine dashboard purpose, audiences, health topics, design, impact, and mechanisms of use in decision-making.
- To identify literature gaps and systematically analyze 'actionability' as a critical design element.
Main Methods:
- A scoping review following PRISMA-ScR guidelines.
- Inclusion of English-language, peer-reviewed literature (2000-2023) from databases and gray literature sources.
- Use of snowballing techniques and rigorous intercoder reliability testing for document screening.
Main Results:
- The initial search yielded 2544 documents; 216 met inclusion criteria after deduplication and exclusion.
- The included studies comprise 90 US case studies and 126 non-US case studies.
- Data extraction will focus on data characteristics, design, user aspects, and reported usefulness/impact.
Conclusions:
- The review will analyze the goals, design, use, usefulness, and impact of public health data dashboards.
- Findings will inform the development and improvement of these tools by synthesizing current practices.
- A theory-grounded, evidence-informed framework for dashboard design, implementation, and evaluation will be proposed.

01:26Principles of Disease Surveillance
91
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

01:26Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System
3.3K
At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

01:03Data Validation
5.0K
Data validation is an essential part of a comprehensive assessment. Validation is confirming or verifying and opening the door to gathering more assessment data as it clarifies vague or unclear data. The process of checking and verifying the collected information is called data validation. The primary purpose of data validation is to ensure data is as free from error, bias, and misinterpretation as possible.
