This presentation introduces the Shared Health Equity Dashboard (SHED) but also aims to provide an example of how health equity assessment can be implemented regionally. SHED is a collaboration between three local public health agencies in southeastern Ontario (Hastings Prince Edward Public Health; Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit; and KFL&A Public Health). Its purpose is to allow users to interact with population health data to identify and monitor gaps in health between groups of people defined by certain social characteristics. It currently contains multiple Power Business Intelligence (BI) dashboards related to a variety of topics - one dashboard includes emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and premature mortality; another infectious diseases; and a third, self-reported measures from the Canadian Community Health Survey. In this presentation, the presenter will provide an overview of SHED, including the “who, what, why, when, where and how” of SHED as well as explain its limitations and next steps. Audience members can explore SHED at www.kflaphi.ca/shared-health-....
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
• Describe the main components of SHED and the topics it covers
• Explain the methodology behind SHED
• Identify where to find key methodological resources for health equity assessment
• Discuss SHED’s limitations and next steps
