This "Health Data Portal" provides all varieties of stakeholders access to public data sets in a standardized Excel format. Without effective data transparency, Stakeholders cannot do their important work, and they cannot be held accountable without relevant metrics and tracking trends. Serious users of health data will have basic Excel skills, or have data analysts who are competent in Excel. Serious users will create pdf extracts from the Excel spreadsheets by selecting their relevant metadata, and serious Stakeholders will printout relevant pdf extracts.

See below for example sets of pdf extracts for counties in Colorado, including the folllowing: Denver, Larimer and Broomfield

Examples of pdf sets have also been created for counties in other states: King County WA and Outagamie WI. Every state health department should collaborate to create their own "Health Data Portal" to support local/county public health officials. See Colorado's Health Information Database (CoHID), or the comprehensive data portal in California, OSHPD (Office of State Health Planning and Dev)
