VESTRA has been supporting the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) as they work to develop a statewide enterprise GIS for quality policy analysis, allocation of funding resources, and to aid in the monitoring of healthcare quality throughout the state. The Healthcare Atlas also includes emergency departments and ambulatory services. Work was performed to re-engineer the mapping applications in order to interface with a new data warehouse that dramatically expand the GIS user interface using ASP.NET. The internal OSHPD Website receives live earthquake data to assist OSHPD’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in providing support and regional coordination to hospitals affected by an earthquake. This EOC portion of the application received a “Best of California” award in 2008.
