Use IBIS, which is a set of open source software applications that provide web-based querying of SAS datasets, the centralized management of indicator reports, as well as other content for health topics. IBIS is a web-based, public access network of standardized electronic health and environmental data. The IBIS software was developed to meet recognized public health assessment needs, including tabulation of vital statistics data, tracking of progress on Healthy People 2020 goals, and the displaying of data for local communities. The newest IBIS version will provide more mapping capacity and local level data, which is critical to displaying public health information in spatial format and help practitioners tell the story.
