Data is the foundation for effective health policy. This session highlights how organizations build data hubs, and health data exploration tools to transform complex datasets into meaningful insight. The American Cancer Society uses data visualization and storytelling tools to reveal disparities and guide screening strategies to reduce the burden of lung cancer. Nurse-Family Partnership uses the Family Opportunity Atlas to identify who needs support and where to focus efforts.

How to Build Effective Health Decision-Support Tools
Presentations
- Leveraging GIS to Advance the Mission of the ACS National Lung Cancer RoundtableThe ACS Geospatial Solutions Team (GST) collaborates with the National Lung Cancer Roundtable (NLCRT) to support their mission to reduce the burden of lung cancer through geospatial analysis, visualization, and storytelling tools. By working with leadership, they turn research into user-friendly tools that guide decision-making and community action. Featured applications enhance screening efforts and illustrate disparities, benefiting public health organizations, people impacted by cancer, and the broader public.

- The Family Opportunity Atlas: Mapping the Path to Health EquityThe Family Opportunity Atlas (FOA) transforms complex health equity-related data into an interactive map built entirely with ArcGIS Online. Designed for learning and exploration by staff of Changent, a non-profit organization rooted in improving health outcomes for children and families, the FOA helps uncover barriers and opportunity toward achieving health and well-being. By visualizing these data through the Esri platform, the FOA is intended to spark insight, strengthen collaboration, and support data-driven action for meaningful health equity impact.
