Montreal Hospital Emergency Room Health Watch, Information and Surveillance Project
Using CGDI endorsed standards, the Montreal Agency for Health and Social Services developed an online atlas to support the coordination, monitoring, surveillance, and planning, for hospital and clinic emergency room response.
The atlas is populated with data from 22 emergency rooms which receive over one million visits annually. The geographic area of the online atlas comprises the Island of Montreal which includes 1.8 million people.
The online atlas allows users to display health data visually, facilitating health analysis, coordination, and management of emergency room response efforts. The expected results include improved health prevention measures, monitor response times, wait times, and resource management. The atlas data will also be linked to existing databases which will improve data quality and analysis.
