Interactive Dashboard
The 2021 SC Birth Outcomes Initiative Geospatial Environmental
Scan©
(GeoEScan©) is used to connect health and place; to identify communities of
opportunity;
and to evaluate potential areas of further research, outreach, or program development.
The GeoEScan© does this by using Geographic Information System (GIS)
applications to capture, integrate, analyze and display data at statewide or sub-state
levels in an interactive format.

Funded by The Duke Endowment, CHARGED3 equips stakeholders to improve the lives
of SC
Children, ages 0-5, by identifying geographic clusters of health advantages and
disadvantages within the state.
IFS has developed a new site featuring a Geospatial Environmental Scan© that
helps
visualize
these patterns and provides context for needs assessments, programs planning, and
service
delivery.
