During this presentation a project that utilizes the GIS (Geographic Information System) to code facilities into a searchable tool will be demonstrated. This smart tool, designed in collaboration with the Iowa and Nebraska EHDI programs, will help parents identify the most appropriate facility for their child’s unique situation and help EHDI coordinators manage the screening and diagnostic audiology facilities.
This tool:
1. Will allow facilities to update facility profiles.
2. Can reveal social, demographic, and economic attributes of a given state or territory through integration with other data sources.
This presentation will discuss what is needed to create this smart tool
Key words: screening/diagnostic audiology facilities, facility resource, interactive tool, parents
