Turning Data into Impact for Ohio
Ohio's comprehensive interactive source for health data
Using platforms like R Shiny and Tableau, the GRC builds public‑facing and restricted‑access dashboards that support strategic planning, quality improvement, and policy development. These tools power initiatives such as the Ohio Pregnancy Assessment Survey (OPAS), the state’s most comprehensive interactive source for maternal and infant health data.
Our team also provides geospatial analysis and mapping to help partners understand geographic patterns, identify service gaps, and visualize community health statuses. This work strengthens measure development, supports equity‑focused research, and guides data‑driven decisions.
Behind these visuals is a strong data engineering foundation. The GRC integrates multiple datasets, builds secure data environments, and creates user‑friendly analytic solutions tailored to the needs of state agencies and medical partners.
From dashboards to predictive analytics, the GRC equips decision‑makers with tools that are intuitive, reliable, and designed to help Ohio’s leaders see their data clearly and use it with confidence.
Dashboards
GRC’s expert staff enhance research projects by creating interactive data dashboards that provide users with informative, easy to understand visualizations of policy-relevant data and information. The examples highlighted below utilize publicly available data. GRC also constructs dashboards in a HIPAA compliant environment with sensitive data, including PHI, that are password protected and can only be viewed by approved users.
