Benefits of this new approach• Central data repository documented and accessible• Available data analytics and visualization tool to generate
information and publishing data visualizations• Easy and effective analytic cycle allowing health analysts to
focus on analysis and innovation• Data visualizations live connected to data sources, meaning
visualization will always display updated data, without re-publishing it.
• PAHO health information platform (PHIP) empowers health analysts, requiring just minimum or none support from IT professionals
