IntroductIon

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are powerful tools for enhancing the ability of state and local health departments to address the public health burden of heart disease, stroke, and other chronic diseases. In order to build the capacity of state and local health departments to utilize GIS for the surveillance and prevention of chronic diseases, the Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Preven-tion at the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funds a collaborative training project with the National As-sociation of Chronic Disease Directors and the University of Michigan. The central objective of this GIS Surveillance Training Project is to enhance the ability of state and local health departments to integrate the use of GIS into daily operations that support existing priorities for surveillance and prevention of heart disease, stroke, and other chronic diseases. Staff members from state and local health departments receive training regarding the use of GIS surveillance and mapping to address four major purposes: • documenting geographic disparities, • informing policy and program decisions, • enhancing partnerships with external agencies, and • facilitating collaboration within agencies.

In 2012, the following health departments were competitively selected to participate in this GIS Surveillance Training Project: Iowa; Mississippi; Nebraska; New Hampshire; Texas; Wisconsin; Boston, Massachusetts; Cambridge, Massachusetts; Hennepin County, Min-nesota; Rockland County, New York; and Washington County, Minnesota. The project is intentionally designed to develop a GIS infra-structure that can serve a vast array of chronic disease areas, yet with a focus on heart disease and stroke.

The maps displayed in this document highlight examples of how each participating health department produced maps to support their chronic disease priorities by documenting the burden, informing program and policy development, and enhancing partnerships. The extent of collaboration among chronic disease units within each health department is evident in the diversity of the teams that participated in the training and have continued to work to strengthen GIS infrastructure within their respective health departments.

Iowa: Using GIS to Address Existing Priorities

Document the Burden: Stroke Hospitalizations in Iowa Hospitals, Iowa Residents, 2005-2009

The ability of the Iowa Department of Public Health to use data to drive policy ef-forts and program activities is critical to the department’s mission to promote and protect the health of Iowans. The department also has an obligation to share data with Local Public Health Agencies that is useful to them in their health needs and planning efforts. This map displays the age adjusted rate per 1,000 population of stroke hospitalizations of Iowa residents in Iowa hospitals from 2005-2009. In the 37 hatch-marked counties the rates may be a significant underestimate of the true rates, because greater than 5% of resident hospitalizations occur in out of state hospitals, and are not included in the data. Public health planners in those counties should be cautious in using the presented rates as the underestimation could lead to the interpretation that efforts related to prevention and treatment of stroke are less of a priority due to a lower burden of disease in these counties. The pattern of coun-ties where rates may be unreliable is concentrated in the western and north-eastern portions of the state; this pattern is consistent with proximity to major out-of-state health facilities in Nebraska, South Dakota, and Minnesota. This map will be used to communicate messages to two primary audiences:

1. Leadership within the Iowa Department of Public Health to point out the impor-tance of working with the Iowa Hospital Association and its counterparts in neighbor states to facilitate the inclusion of data for hospitalizations of Iowa residents that occur in out-of-state facilities.

2. Local Public Health Agencies to provide information on the limits of hospitalization data currently being shared with them, and assisting them in appropriate interpreta-tion.

Inform Policy and Program:Primary Stroke Center and Stroke Capable Hospital Service Area

This map allows state leadership to see whether the current stroke system of care is capable of providing quality care for the majority of residents and where system improvements may be necessary by showing service areas for the primary stroke centers and stroke capable hospi-tals serving the state. The service area was defined as 30-minute drive times to the facility by analyzing the road network using ESRI ArcGIS 10.0 and the Network Analyst extension. Analy-sis was then conducted to determine the population residing within a 30-minute commute of a primary stroke center or stroke capable hospital using population data from the 2010 US Census.

The map will be used in presentations to the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Registry leadership, hospital stroke managers and emergency medical service leadership to determine where additional training or leadership is needed to encourage the improvement of available stroke systems of care. Iowa’s EMS protocol provides for EMS personnel throughout Iowa to triage and transport stroke patients to the hospital with the highest level of stroke care avail-able within 30-minutes travel time (unless contraindicated by the patient/patient’s family) in order to access the most appropriate level of stroke care.

Enhance Partnerships:Prevalence of Obesity Among Adults, 2008-2010

Obesity is a risk factor for most chronic diseases. To document the extent of obesity in the state, Iowans Fit for Life in the Bureau of Nutrition and Health Promotion at the Iowa Depart-ment of Public Health creates and distributes an annual obesity burden report. The report documents the burden of obesity at both the state and county level. This map displays the age-adjusted obesity prevalence for adults in Iowa at the county level for the combined years of 2008 to 2010. The noticeably higher prevalence documented in the more rural counties (e.g., Audubon and Wayne) demonstrates a geographic component to obesity in Iowa.

This and similar maps will be used to provide a visual representation of the burden of obesity in Iowa. To deal with the burden of obesity statewide, the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) collaborates with the Iowa Department of Transportation to assess the built environ-ment in an effort to encourage walking and biking. In addition, the IDPH Community Trans-formation Grant endeavors to implement community strategies to improve access to healthy nutrition and physical activity opportunities across the state.

Document the Burden:Heart Disease Age-Adjusted Death Rates, 2005-2010

Heart disease was the leading cause of death in Mississippi in 2010, accounting for 26% of all deaths. Geographic disparity in mortality from heart disease exists among different racial and gender groups in Mississippi and examination of the geographic disparities can raise important questions about the underlying social conditions, structures and mechanisms. This map shows age-adjusted heart disease death rates by county for 2005-2010, highlighting a concentration of high-rate counties in the Mississippi Delta Region. Counties with the highest death rates are also noticeable in parts of the southern region. This map can be used to tailor heart disease related programs and policies to the needs of these communities.

Inform Policy and Program:Obesity, Education and Poverty in Mississippi

Mississippi has the highest obesity rate in the U.S. with 35.3% of state residents having a BMI 30 of more in 2009. Obesity is higher among Mississippians who are below the poverty level and/or less educated. Inequities across poverty and education groups may influence obesity rate, a risk factor for many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes. This map shows the prevalence of obesity and indicators of socio-economic status by county in Mississippi. Counties in the Mississippi Delta Region and along the Mississippi River experience both health and socioeconomic disparities with high obesity prevalence. More than 30% of the population below poverty level and less than 75% of adults aged 25 years and older having graduated from high school.

This map of obesity and socio-economic status will be compared with maps of chronic disease health disparities to help inform policy decision making. Furthermore, the Mississippi State Department of Health will be able to identify counties with the greatest health inequities and focus their outreach efforts in the counties with the greatest need.

Enhance Partnerships:Mississippi Delta Health Collaborative Initiatives

The Mississippi Delta Health Collaborative (MDHC) is a five-year cooperative collaborative between the Mississippi State Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention designed to prevent heart disease, stroke, and related chronic diseases. This will be achieved through the implementation of the “ABCS” of heart disease and, stroke prevention in the 18-county Missis-sippi Delta Region. MDHC initiatives include: Medication Therapy Management, ABCS Community Screening Program, Mayoral Health Councils, County Planning and Development Councils, Barber-shop Hypertension Reduction Initiative, and Clinical Community Health Worker Initiative. This map highlights current initiatives and clinical sites participating in the ABCS program.

The map has been shared with the Mississippi Task Force on Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention, the Office Health Data and Research, program staff, and MDHC grantees.

Document the Burden:Heart Disease Hospitalizations Among Nebraska Residents, 2006-2010

Heart disease is the second leading cause of death behind cancer, and the second leading cause of hospitalization in Nebraska, behind pregnancy and childbirth. This county-level map demonstrates the geographic disparities that exist in age-adjusted heart disease hospi-talization rates in Nebraska. There is considerable variation in the rate of hospitalization across the state. The highest concentration occurs toward the central area of the state and the south-central (115.8-146.0 per 10,000 residents). The lowest concentration oc-curs in the north-eastern and north-western sections of the state (13.4-65.1 per 10,000 residents). This map will be helpful in deter-mining the concentration of hospitalizations due to heart disease. It will be helpful to Emergency Medical Services in their planning of how to improve their services and availability to high use areas. It can also be used by the Nebraska Hospital Association to ensure that hospitals in this region have enough resources to treat patients who have heart disease.

Inform Policy and Program:Twenty and Thirty Minute Drive Times to Hospitals in Nebraska

Timely hospital accessibility is very important for heart disease. This is espe-cially important in a rural state like Nebraska where many communities do not have easy access to a hospital. We used driving times to determine the proportion of the communities where people could reach a hospital within 30 minutes in the State of Nebraska. Almost all regions in the east of state are covered within 30 minutes driving time, but most of regions located in the west and middle of state are not covered within 30 minutes driving time. Those regions in the west are the most rural areas of Nebraska. The maps will be used to provide an overview of access to hospitals in the general popula-tion. This map will be used to understand the policy implications for pre-hos-pital protocols that are being considered by emergency medical systems across the state.

Enhance Partnerships:Smoking Cessation Referrals to the Nebraska Quitline, 2011

The Nebraska Medicaid program provides smoking cessation aides to enroll-ees through the Nebraska Quitline. The Quitline, sponsored by the Tobacco Free Nebraska program, provides tobacco cessation coaching/counseling and has a fax referral program to provide tobacco cessation products. A healthcare provider can fax a referral to the Quitline and then cessation products will be available to the Medicaid enrollee. This map shows the number of Quitline fax referrals from healthcare professionals by county per 10,000 residents. Those counties with high proportions of fax referrals (38.6 – 47.8 per 10,000) occur in multiple areas of the state. Those counties with low referrals, and in par-ticular, those where no referrals were submitted tend to occur in the north central section of the state. Tobacco Free Nebraska has used this map to understand where gaps exist in fax referrals. Using this map they have planned to target those counties where there have been no fax referrals or very few compared to the county population size.

Tobacco merchant compliance with laws concerning tobacco sales to youth in New Hampshire continues to increase according to the latest Synar tobacco compliance report by the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Services (BDAS).

The New Hampshire Liquor Commission and BDAS attempt tobacco buys by supervised youth during random compliance checks. The rate of retailers selling to youth dropped to 7.8% in 2011 in New Hampshire. This number is down from 8.6% in 2010, and a dramatic decline from 14% in 2009. Research demonstrates that lower tobacco use by youth also decreases the chance that they will use drugs or alcohol. This map shows how GIS can be used to locate tobacco retailers that are readily accessible to underage smokers and may assist as a tool to help target specific retailers for compliance checks.

Inform Policy and Program:Drive time to PCI-capable Hospitals in New Hampshire, June 2012

As part of the assessment of medical care infrastructure for the treatment of ST-elevation myo-cardial infarction (STEMI), The Heart Disease & Stroke Prevention Program in New Hampshire identified all Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) capable hospitals in New Hampshire and the surrounding area as of June 2012. These hospitals, also called heart attack receiving centers, have the equipment and expertise to perform Percutaneous Coronary Interventions to qualified heart attack patients, which is the preferred therapy for reducing mortality if administered in a timely manner.

This map shows the geographic areas within 30, 60 and 90 minute drive times to the closest PCI capable hospitals in New Hampshire. Using the 2010 Census data, nearly 75% of New Hamp-shire’s population is within 30 minutes drive time to those hospitals; 92% are within 60 minutes and 99% are within 90 minutes. This map helps to identify gaps in the access to emergency care for New Hampshire heart attack patients and opportunities for collaboration with neighboring states.

Document the Burden:Stroke Age-adjusted Death Rate by County and Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke Workforce Locations, Texas 2006-2010

This map of Texas counties displays the age-adjusted stroke mortality rate over a 5 year-period. The purpose of this map is to document the burden of stroke in Texas. This map also displays the total number of health professionals in the cardiovascular disease workforce by county. The highest stroke mortality rates are located primarily in Central and East Texas. The counties containing the largest cardiovascular work-force are located in the metropolitan areas of Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. This map also indicates that there are many counties with very high stroke mortality rates but no health professionals that specialize in cardiovascular disease. These counties could be prime locations for chronic disease self-management programs and commu-nity health worker programs.

Inform Policy and Program:Age-adjusted Hospitalization Rate per 10,000 due to Asthma by County, Texas 2010 and Hospital-based Asthma Program Locations

This is a map of 2010 age-adjusted asthma hospitalization rates per 10,000 individuals by county. Additionally, it displays the location of 14 hospital-based asthma programs. Asthma related hospitalization is high among some counties in Texas especially in south Texas. This map shows that the counties with hospital-based asthma programs tend to be located in counties with relatively low asthma hospitalization rates. These programs identify patients and families at high risk for poor self-management capabilities and refer them to self-management education inter-ventions. They conduct asthma education and case management interventions to reduce asthma-related dispari-ties and asthma hospitalization rates. Texas Asthma Control Program funds some of these programs and this map gives a good illustration of where the programs are critically needed. This map was presented at the 2012 Asthma Coalition of Texas Annual Conference and shared with the coalition partners.

Enhance Partnerships:Diabetes Prevalence by Public Health Region with Accredited Diabetes Education Program Sites, Texas, 2012

This map displays 2010 diabetes prevalence by public health region (PHR). As diabetes prevalence increases, the color of the map darkens. The PHRs with significantly higher diabetes prevalence than the state as a whole are depicted with crosshatch. In addition to diabetes prevalence, the map shows diabetes self-management training (DSMT) sites in Texas that are accredited by the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE). DSMT is a collaborative process through which people with or at risk for diabetes gain the knowledge and skills needed to modify behavior and successfully self-manage diabetes and its related conditions. It is evident from the map that some PHRs with significantly higher diabetes prevalence lack or do not have adequate DSMT sites. This map will be used to advocate for DSMT sites by organizations dedicated to serving persons at-risk or with diabetes in Texas. Since it displays where there are not any DSMT sites along with diabetes prevalence, it states where DSMT sites are needed. It enhances partnerships because it encourages organiza-tions to work together to advocate for persons at risk for or with diabetes. The map will be used by the Texas Diabetes Prevention and Control Program (DPCP) to plan interventions, with the goal of having interventions where they will do the most good.

Document the Burden:Stroke Hospitalization Rates in Wisconsin, All Ages, 2005-2009

Stroke is a leading cause of both death and long-term disability in Wisconsin. In order to address this heavy burden, many hospitals have established themselves as Primary Stroke Centers (PSC). These Centers have formal programs to treat stroke patients effectively and consistently with the goal of improving care and outcomes to prevent future strokes and to restore functioning. The map displays the age-adjusted stroke hospitalization rates by county and the Primary Stroke Center distribution throughout the state. The map illustrates the geo-graphic disparities of resources with the state divided roughly in half. Almost all of the PSCs and higher hospitalization rates are located in the eastern portion. The western portion shows fewer PSCs and lower hospitalization rates due, in part, to persons seeking care in Border States, namely, Minnesota, Michigan Upper Peninsula, and Iowa.

Further expansion of this map will include PSCs located in the border states to document border care patterns. As Wisconsin’s population ages, efforts to track the number and rate of stroke hospitalizations and review resource distribution will be im-portant. Health information mapping will measure the effects of campaigns like Million Hearts (preventing one million heart attacks and strokes) as well as the effectiveness of new health care policies (such as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) that promote preventive care and coordination of care.

Enhance Partnerships:Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity Prevention Activities

This is a dot density map of obesity prevention programs and/or activities that have occurred in Wisconsin over the last several years. It illustrates the investment and potential infrastructure of obesity prevention programs and activities on the local level. The map does not contain an exhaustive list of all the obesity pre-vention programs and activities occurring in the state, but rather a variety of programs and activities. These include those funded by the US Department Agriculture; US Department of Education; WI Department of Health Services; WI Department of Public Instruction; WI Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection; WI Department of Transportation; WI Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness & Health; and WI Medical Society Foundation.

This map has been used to conceptualize where obesity prevention work has occurred and to show how current and past funding has created a foundation within communities that may be leveraged for future ef-forts. Additionally, it has been used as a communication tool with state and local partners for collaboration. Future uses for the map include assessing if clusters of activities are related to improvement of risk factors in those areas of the state and identifying if high need areas in the state have insufficient investment for ongoing activities aimed at decreasing health risk factors for chronic diseases.

Inform Policy and Program:Drive Times to Wisconsin Primary Stroke Centers, 2012

The Wisconsin Stroke Committee (WSC) is in the process of recommending statewide standards for emergency transport and treatment of acute stroke. Timely, quality stroke treatment has been proven to increase stroke survival rates and reduce stroke-related disabilities. In Wisconsin, 30 hospitals have been certified as Primary Stroke Centers, meaning that dedicated teams follow national clinical guidelines for stroke care. Currently, there are no criteria to assess the level of stroke care at other hospitals across the state. This map illustrates areas known to have access to quality stroke treatment within 60 miles or approximately one hour of driving time. The WSC will use this data to inform rec-ommendations for EMS hospital destination plans, telestroke networks, and expanding the network of hospitals identified as providing stroke care.

Document the Burden:Chronic Disease Hospitalization, Boston, 2005-2011 Average Annual Rates

This map presents chronic disease hospitalization rates for the fifteen neighborhoods in the city of Boston. There are four maps in total, representing heart disease, diabetes, and cerebrovascular disease (including stroke) hospitalization rates, and an overall composite index map. The composite map pres-ents an index which is calculated by tallying the number of times a neighborhood falls into the highest or second highest quartile for hospitalization rates for the each of the three chronic diseases.There are three neighborhoods (North Dorchester, Roxbury, and South Dorchester) where the chronic disease hospitalization index is highest. North Dorchester and Roxbury are also two of the neighborhoods where the overall socioeconomic status index is lowest. SES index data are available upon request.

Inform Policy and Program:Chronic Disease Deaths, Boston, 2005-2010 Average Annual Rates

This map presents deaths rates from cerebrovascular disease and diseases of the heart among the fif-teen neighborhoods in the city of Boston. In addition to maps of disease specific death rates, an overall composite index map is presented. The composite map presents an index which is calculated by tally-ing the number of times a neighborhood falls into the highest or second highest quartile for the two chronic disease death rates.

This map will be included in the Boston Public Health Commission’s report Health of Boston 2012-2013. The report is published and made available online. In addition, it is distributed to Boston’s Mayor, city councilors, hospitals, community health centers, selected community based organizations and partners, and selected academic institutions. This map will be used by both internal programs and external part-ners working to prevent chronic disease and address racial/ethnic health inequities.

Rockland County, NY: Using GIS to Address Existing Priorities

Document the Burden:Heart Disease Mortality Rates by ZIP Code of Residence within Rockland County, NY 2005-2009

Heart disease is the leading cause of death among residents of Rockland County, NY. The goal of the Rockland County Department of Health is to reduce coronary heart disease deaths to 166 deaths per 100,000 population. ZIP Code level mortality rates had never been calculated before, so this map is the first to highlight the variation in heart disease mortality within Rockland County. This map will be used in an upcoming Community Health Assessment, the Community Input Plan, and the Health Depart-ment Strategic Planning Initiative. It will also be used as a visual tool in the engagement of community partners, outreach staff and other internal programmatic areas in hopes of lowering the total disease burden locally through collaborative efforts.

Inform Policy and Program:Rockland County Community Health Assessment Survey 2009-2010, Body Mass Index and Healthy Food Purchasing Habits

The Rockland County Health Department has made Overweight/Obesity & Diabetes one of its 9 Public Health Priorities. Overweight/Obesity & Diabetes is a major public health concern impacting the health of our population. Our goal is to increase the proportion of adults who maintain a healthy weight, reduce the proportion of adults who are obese, reduce the proportion of children and adolescents who are overweight or obese, and improve options for increased physical activity and weight loss throughout the county. This map displays the difference in prevalence of overweight/obese by ZIP code in Rockland County. Some ZIP code areas have a 95% prevalence of overweight or obese, while other ZIP codes have a prevalence around 50%. This map will help target interventions to regions with the highest prevalence of obesity.

Hennepin County, MN: Using GIS to Address Existing Priorities

Document the Burden:Heart Disease Deaths Kernel Density: Cities within Hennepin County, 2006-2010

Heart disease deaths are depicted in Hennepin County, Minnesota, for the years 2006 to 2010. The location of each death was determined by geocoding the address of the deceased individual. The kernel density approach compiles deaths into small geographic clusters and reflects the number of people dying in each area. Overall, a kernel density map displays the geographic density of deaths, whereas a choropleth map shows the mortality rates that are adjusted for the size of the population in the geo-graphic area.

Inform Policy and Program:Number of Physical Activity Interventions per SHIP 2.0 (Statewide Health Improvement Program) School

This map displays the seven partnering school districts and the number of physical activity interventions in each school participating in the Statewide Health Improvement Program in 2011-2013 (SHIP 2.0). The interventions include integrating physical activity breaks into classroom lessons (active classroom), creating physical activity options during indoor recess periods (active recess), quality physical education, and Safe Routes to School (SRTS) environmental improvements.

This map has been shared with staff on the Hennepin County SHIP school team to illustrate program distribution and reach. We plan to expand and enhance partnerships with other local health depart-ments and communities to consolidate program information, to better understand programs’ coverage and reach, and to inform policy-making decisions.

Washington County, MN: Using GIS to Address Existing Priorities

Enhance Partnerships:Nutrition Resources

This map illustrates many nutrition resources available in Washington County, MN. Nutrition educa-tion programs include cooking classes and nutrition counseling. Fresh produce is available at farmers’ markets, from community supported agriculture, and from community gardens. Nutrition Support Re-sources include food banks, home delivered meals, Women, Infants and Children (WIC), and the Supple-mental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The map shows that there are fewer places to purchase fresh produce in the southwest corner of the county which is also a more densely populated and lower income area in Washington County. The absence of cooking classes in the northern part of the county is noted. Updates to the list and map will focus on these two categories to confirm gaps in services or identify new resources in these areas.

Enhance Partnerships:Physical Activity Resources

This map illustrates the variety of fitness related resources available in Washington County, MN, in-cluding community centers, clubs, fitness centers, classes, and parks and recreation departments. More resources are located in areas of greater population density. The points located to the north and west of the county lines represent strong partnerships with multicounty school and healthcare partners. The northeast and southeast areas of the county are primarily rural or farming communities and have fewer physical activity resources. Future updates to the map and resource list will include major trails as con-nections are completed at the municipal and county level.

Facilitating CollaborationThe GIS State & Local Surveillance Training Program was intentionally designed to develop a GIS infrastructure that would facilitate collaboration among an array of chronic disease units within each state health department, yet with a focus on heart disease and stroke. To that end, the four staff members from each state and local health department that participated in the training represented different chronic disease units. Each state & local health department was led by a member of the heart disease and stroke unit; here are the chronic disease units that were represented in each of the participating state and local health departments:
