A Snapshot of Early Childhood Development in Australia is the first National Report by the AEDI National Support Centre, which presents a clear picture of the health and development of Australia’s young children.

With the application of InstantAtlas the AEDI provides information about how communities have supported the development of their children before school.

The "Bremen neighbourhood atlas“ offers a great variety of city-wide, district-based information. Contents include social, demographic and macro-economic data. Upon each inquiry, users are presented with a map, a table and two graphics, which allows direct comparisons of districts and/or analyses of temporal changes. Diverse tools, such as the option to highlight districts of interest, and an intuitive interface allow for detailed and customized searches as well as easy menu navigation. In the end, the user is never more than a few simple clicks away from the desired information.

Profiles created using InstantAtlas provide a summary of demographic and related data for each ward in Greater London. The profiles are designed to provide an overview of the population in each area by combining a range of data on the population, diversity, households, life expectancy, housing, crime, benefits, land use, deprivation, and employment.

Gareth Piggott, says: “We are going to be using InstantAtlas more and more. A good example of this is the ongoing project called Focus on London. Rather than having a 200 page report that is produced every year, we will be releasing one chapter per month with interactive mapping on our website. This means we will have a new InstantAtlas report every month.”

In the context of promoting “Smarter Solutions for Crime Reduction”, the Illinois Criminal Justice Authority chose InstantAtlas to present a suite of interactive crime data analysis tools in September 2010.

These reports present over 70 indicators at a county level. Annual and 5-year average offense and arrest rates are compared across Illinois for major crime categories. Additional themes allow users to explore data and create maps presenting case filing rates, admissions to the Department of Corrections or to substance abuse treatment programs.

Using the single map report, users can view the data geographically and through time. Data can be filtered by region, judicial circuit or rural/urban county type.

The scatterplot profile allows the exploration of relationships between crime and outcome indicators, exposing major positive and negative data variances from the state norms in individual counties.

Funded by the Information Centre for health and social care, NCHOD produces the online Clinical and Health Outcomes Knowledge Base, including the Compendium of Clinical and Health Indicators. This is an extensive resource used predominantly by local authorities and Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) to help them direct public health resources effectively in their regions, to save lives.

Director of NCHOD, Dr Azim Lakhani is in no doubt that the Compendium combined with InstantAtlas makes a difference to UK health and to saving lives.

This allows them to target resources effectively.”
