Development of Automated Data Quality Indicators and Visualizations using Florida's ESSENCE System

The objective of this project was to develop visualizations and tools for public health users to determine the quality of their surveillance data. A series of data quality visualizations were developed and implemented in the Florida Department of Health's version of ESSENCE. The data quality portal has been active the Florida ESSENCE system since March 31st, 2012. Between that time and August the portal has been accessed over 1300 times. The presentation will include additional statistics about which specific features were most used and those features that users have found the most useful.
