Scale: National Purpose: Interactive atlas to present the spread of the H1N1 swine flu virus. This also includes a comprehensive set of other health, demographic and socio-economic indicators. InstantAtlas Template: Single Map
|
Scale: National Purpose: To provide access to a variety of interactive "dashboards" offering health data to aid in the policy-making process. The dynamic, interrelated, interactive dashboards provide tables, maps, and charts showing data in various dimensions. They are intended as a complementary alternative to the information most commonly used in the form of statistical tables, maps, and charts. InstantAtlas Template: Single Map

European Union Public Health Information System (EUPHIX) |
National Cancer Intelligence Network - Cancer e-Atlas for England |
|
|
|
Scale: Regional Purpose: A web-based knowledge system for health professionals, policy makers and others. It presents structured European public health information, giving a special insight into similarities and differences between EU Member States. InstantAtlas Template: Performance Profile |
Scale: Regional Purpose: Cancer statistics (incidence and mortality) are shown for Local Authorities and Cancer Networks using data from English cancer registries and the Office for National Statistics. Survival statistics are also shown but at Cancer Network level only. This is because any observed variations in survival rates across Local Authority areas are more likely to be caused by the natural variations that occur when dealing with smaller numbers of patients rather than showing real differences.

National Health Episode Statistics, England |
Schleswig-Holstein Cancer Atlas, Germany |
|
|
|
Scale: National Purpose: Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) are record level patient data collected by the Department of Health from every NHS hospital in England and Wales. HES data provides a comprehensive picture of inpatient care that can support public health analysis, planning and resource allocation, benchmarking, clinical audit, monitoring and performance management and research.* Presenting HES data using InstantAtlas makes the data more accessible. As Steve Morgan, Senior Public Health Analyst at SEPHO says: "I’ve demonstrated the software to a number of senior public health specialists and received a great deal of positive feedback – complex data previously once displayed in tedious two dimensional spreadsheets and charts is now transformed in an exciting and more meaningful manner The new HES e-Atlas produced by SEPHO on behalf of APHO shows HES data between 2003/4 and 2006/07 in a single map template (by Local Authorities).

Scale: Local Purpose: The Institute for Cancer Epidemiology in Lübeck, Germany has implemented InstantAtas. They report incidence and mortality rates for major cancer sites over a eight-year period for Schleswig-Holstein.

|
Scale: Regional Purpose: Teenage Pregnancy Interactive Map Tool EMPHO has produced interactive maps of under 18 conception data, for all Local Authorities in England, using InstantAtlas from Geowise. Maps are now available with the latest 2006 (provisional) data, along with comparators including deprivation and education data. The interactive mapping tool has also been improved, allowing the user to view the data in a number of different ways, including Significance mapping, Funnel Plots and Area Profiles. |
Scale: State, by counties Purpose: This Single Map view presents West Virginia's aggregated 2002-2006 BRFSS prevalence rates across the state highlighting significant variances of county rates versus state and USA averages. InstantAtlas Template: Single Map |

Scale: Regional Purpose: The State Department of Health set up these profiles to provide a publicly accessible geographic visualization of Mississippi's BRFSS survey results by health region. It enables users to view all total prevalence rates on all risk factors simultaneously and see all variances to the state means in a spine chart. |
Scale: Local Purpose: The purpose of this work was to present hospital and injury data by county for New Hampshire residents for each of the last 5 years, with crude and standardized rates shown in the table. "Instant Atlas is a cost-effective, flexible, and user-friendly web tool that provides professional looking maps, data tables and graphs of aggregated data. Bar charts with confidence intervals, scatter plots and trend charts nicely supplement colorful map displays. Data exploration is is easy and fast.
