目的：为了提高地方公共卫生部门将资源用于最需要的地区的能力，威斯康星州环境公共卫生跟踪（WI EPHT）计划致力于加强其公共门户网站，以使威斯康星州儿童铅中毒预防计划（WCLPPP）和其他计划受益。WI EPHT计划与WCLPPP合作进行了这一增强。设计/设置：WI EPHT增强的公共门户网站是威斯康星州在环境公共卫生跟踪方面持续努力的下一阶段。作为此过程的一部分，此新的绘图应用程序包括绘图功能，可提供威斯康星州县和人口普查区级别的儿童铅检测和结果信息。方法：WI EPHT计划将更新其公共门户网站，以便能够在县以下级别绘制数据（即人口普查区或邮政编码）。结果：该工具可供整个威斯康星州的当地公共卫生部门和其他公共卫生组织使用，作为确定受疾病控制和预防中心新的结论：WI EPHT和WCLPPP在更新和增强门户网站上的合作，证明了环境卫生数据的力量，可以更准确地了解公共卫生问题。
Objective:In an effort to improve the ability of local public health departments to target resources to the highest need regions, the Wisconsin Environmental Public Health Tracking (WI EPHT) Program worked to enhance its public portal to benefit the Wisconsin Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (WCLPPP) and other programs. The WI EPHT Program conducted this enhancement in collaboration with WCLPPP.Design/Setting:The WI EPHT enhanced public portal is the next phase of Wisconsin's ongoing efforts in environmental public health tracking. As part of this process, this new mapping application includes mapping capacity that provides information on childhood lead testing and results at county and census tract levels in Wisconsin.Methods:The WI EPHT Program will update its public portal to have the capability to map data at a subcounty level (ie, census tract or zip code) for some data topics when such data are available.Results:This tool is available to local public health departments and other public health organizations throughout Wisconsin as a resource to identify communities most affected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's new guidelines with regard to childhood lead poisoning.Conclusions:The collaboration between WI EPHT and WCLPPP on updating and enhancing the portal exemplifies the power of environmental health data to inform a more accurate understanding of public health problems.
