Abstract
Oral or Poster
Limited access to data is a major barrier to evidence-based decision-making in low- and middle-income countries. Here, we describe the development of a data dashboard through community engagement for contextually relevant surgical care indicators.
The dashboard development involved multiple phases. First, we conducted an inventory of global, Indian national and subnational healthcare data sources: geodatabase IndoHealMap, Rural Health Statistics, District Hospitals Key Indicators Report, Health Management and Information System, National Sample Surveys, etc. Second, two investigators systematically screened the indicators for relevance to surgical care. Third, a panel of experts further screened indicators for research, policy, and decision-making priority, via DIPICA consultations. The indicators were then integrated in the online dashboard built using Streamlit. The dashboard includes variable selection tools, multi-layered visualizations, and options to export state/district-specific factsheets.
The DIPICA Dashboard integrates approximately 100+ indicators, selected by multiple interest-holders from 800+ variables. Dashboard encompasses surgical, obstetric, trauma, and anesthesia care access, workforce, volumes, expenditures, are other domains aligning with for 700 districts in 37 states/Union Territories. Where available, we present urban and rural regional and public-private health sectoral stratifications.
The DIPICA Dashboard represents a pioneering step towards an integrated, scalable, and intuitive platform for monitoring surgical care in India. By bridging significant data gaps, it serves as a model for integrated surveillance to drive evidence-based decision-making, research initiatives, and clinical priorities.
