What Is InstantAtlas?
InstantAtlas is an interactive, internet-based mapping tool, licensed to and supported by the Missouri Cancer Registry and Research Center, which allows users to visually display data gathered from registry data.
InstantAtlas was designed to present statistics in a more user-friendly way. By using InstantAtlas, information and data can be viewed and displayed in a variety of formats (example: charts, tables, maps), and allows easy comparison of different areas (example: counties, regions, measures, years).
What Are The Benefits?
By providing ready-to-view, customizable graphics and charts, InstantAtlas allows users to:
- Visually explore not only the data of a selected county or central office program, but also its trends, rankings, and other data relationships;
- Save time creating maps, charts, and graphs;
- Make the data much more stimulating and easier to understand for presentation;
- Better communicate health trends and issues;
- Use visual data displays to identify public health priorities in a specific county or geographic region;
- Gauge performance over time; and
