Description of Session
RHINoVision is both an innovative concept for visualization of routine health information and a software application that is part of the open source Decision Support System developed at JSI that builds on the methodology outlined in the MEASURE Evaluation “Building a Web-Based Decision Support System” working paper. RHINoVision presents two graphs in tandem that play to the strengths of routine health information system (RHIS) data, in that they empower users with simultaneous visualization of data over time and geography. RHINoVision multivariate visualizations show simultaneously "what happened" (time trend graphs) and "what's happening around you" (regional comparison graphs, scatterplots, bubble graphs). RHINoVision features powerful multivariate visualizations for triangulation of data from different programs and data sources and for “drill down functionality” that empowers users to visualize patterns in the underlying data. Presenting and sharing data in usable formats is a critical dimension of a strong, well-functioning RHIS. The presentation will include a demonstration of the RHINoVision functionality, using publicly available PEPFAR Sub-National HIV/AIDS data for USG Priority Countries.
