Abstract

Online dashboards are valuable tools for gaining insights about population health metrics of interest and for disseminating data collected through research networks. The process of aggregating data from separate databases for use in online dashboards, while also ensuring data quality, is complex. We describe a method for integrating HIV dashboard aggregation scripts into an existing web-based data quality checking application and leveraging REDCap to store aggregated metrics.

Keywords: Data Aggregation; Data Visualization; Epidemiology.
