Data Can Be Our Superpower

The Situational Analysis Learning Tool (SALT), leveraged during COVID-19, showed us what’s possible when we collaborate. Imagine what we can achieve if we continue to harness that power.

The Situational Awareness Learning Tool (SALT) consolidates and analyzes information about public health concerns so we can proactively confront them more efficiently and effectively.

By leveraging real-time data and facilitating collaboration among healthcare and community organizations, SALT has the potential to:

Mitigate pressing issues such as RSV, asthma, and drug overdoses

Increase awareness and understnading of health crises and their impact

Proactively plan for staffing, resource and budget needs

SALT collects and consolidates data from multiple sources, creating a convenient platform delivering up-to-date information while eliminating reliance on state and federal solutions.

Customize Your Analysis

The SALT platform enables customized, user-designed dashboards that display data according to geographic location, demographics, source, and more to optimize planning and operations.

Identify Emerging Trends

By providing comprehensive data with tailored analysis, SALT can help hospitals, local governments, researchers, and community health advocates anticipate community health needs and proactively plan accordingly.

Prepare For Future Pandemics

During COVID, SALT proved how powerful regional data sharing and collaboration can be. By maintaining this infrastructure, we establish an effective system that will help us better respond to and mitigate future health emergencies.

Make Your Data Matter

SALT collects data from a range of sources and consolidates them into a convenient, cloud-based platform to help us better
understand health challenges.

SALT can be customized to bring context and clarity to unsolved public health concerns.

In the example below, we illustrate how a dashboard designed to forecast and mitigate asthma outbreaks could come to life, with a look at respiratory viruses and environmental and social determinants of health factors that exacerbate asthma.

This data-driven model and framework is easily applied to mitigate current and emerging public health concerns.

Drug Overdose

Understanding who is most impacted by drug overdoses and the surrounding circumstances would bring critical context to an ongoing crisis and help us address it more effectively.

Oral Health

Because oral health impacts illnesses such as heart disease, understanding the unmet need for dental care could help us close gaps and improve the overall health of our communities.

Invest in the health of our region and make your data matter.
