Introducing the Health Well website and its interactive tools
The Health Well website (www.healthwell.info
<http://www.healthwell.info/> ) managed by the Institute of Public
Health in Ireland (IPH) is a unique all-island heath information website
that promotes health and wellbeing by supporting evidence-informed
policy and practice. The Health Well provides access to health
information with a focus on data at local level to effectively inform
local policy and practice. Information resources on the Health Well are
grouped into structured catalogues such as Interventions, Policy, and
Evidence. You can also keep up-to-date with latest developments in your
area via the News section on the Health Well and our Twitter account
(@TheHealthWell).
The Health Well also provides a range of online interactive tools to
help people understand and use the information effectively which we
believe may be of benefit to your organisation and its users. In
addition, we can provide computer based training on the Health Well and
its tools.
Some of the tools available on the Health Well include:
* Public Health Information System (PHIS) Tables
<http://www.thehealthwell.info/phis-tables> - a collection of
health-related tables produced by the Department of Health
* If you are interested in how healthy your area is, use our Community
Profiles Tool <http://www.thehealthwell.info/community-profiles> to
develop local health profiles.
* You can explore how chronic conditions prevalence may change in your
local area with the Chronic Conditions Prevalence Tool
<http://chronicconditions.thehealthwell.info/prevalence-tool> .
* You can see how obesity is being tackled in your local area with the
Physical Activity & Nutrition Intervention (PANI) Tool
<http://www.thehealthwell.info/pani> .
* Finally, if you wish to carry out more complex analysis on the data,
our Data Visualiser Tool <http://www.thehealthwell.info/data-visualiser>
can be used to create detailed tables, maps and charts ready to download
to your computer.
If you have any queries about the Health Well and its tools, please do
not hesitate to contact me.
