Proposed Project: Online Evaluation Of A GIS Map Server Project
With The Migrant Clinicians Network--New--Agency for Toxic Substances
and Disease Registry (ATSDR).
In 2001, ATSDR began working with the Migrant Clinicians Network
(MCN) on a national project to use an internet-based mapping service to
help decrease disparities by improving health care services for migrant
workers through a resource, information, consultation and reporting
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping application for the health
care providers within the MCN. The Web site will be available at http://gis.cdc.gov/mcnarcims
.
As part of the implementation of the Web site, MCN and ATSDR are
proposing to include an online evaluation survey to ensure that the
mapping service is meeting the needs of the health care clinicians
providing services to migrant populations. The survey will provide both
MCN and ATSDR valuable immediate opportunities to configure the Web
site to the practical needs of the physicians and other health care
providers using the Web site for clinical care to prevent, intervene,
and treat environmental exposures for migrant farm workers and their
families.
The evaluation survey will be included on the main access page of
the Web site http://gis.cdc.gov/mcnarcims. The feedback survey will be
completely voluntary and will assess the following: (1) ease of
navigating the Web site; (2) ease of locating information within the
site; (3) content of the Web site; (4) technology issues (e.g.,
loading, links, printing); and (5) utility of the Web site to health
care practice and environmental health prevention, practice and
intervention. An additional question will ascertain the respondent's
job category to determine the type of person accessing the Web site
which will help ATSDR and MCN update and modify the content of the Web
site to better fit the actual site user.
It is anticipated that the feedback survey will provide critical
information to enable ATSDR to provide ongoing continuing improvement
of the site to meet the needs of the MCN clinician. This will also
provide ATSDR and MCN with benchmarks to meet agency performance
standards. The feedback survey will be at no financial cost to the
participant and will be located on the ATSDR GIS map server Web site.
