HPEPH’s Diseases of Public Health Significnance (DOPHs) dashboard provides monthly reports on local rates of DOPHS, based on information available from provincial data sources. Ensuring timely access to local DOPHS data will help improve knowledge exchange, heighten awareness, and support evidence informed decision making among community partners.
Population health assessment and surveillance is an identified priority in HPEPH’s 2019-2023 Strategic Plan, as well as a requirement of the Ontario Public Health Standards. Sharing local case rates with a publicly accessible dashboard contributes to HPEPH’s priority of enhancing knowledge exchange of population health surveillance data.
The DOPHs dashboard is provided for the information of local health care providers and other community partners, and does not replace existing notification or reporting mechanisms for outbreaks or contact tracing. Organizations and individuals who are impacted by potential exposure to or outbreaks of DOPHS will be notified as required by the public health standards and related protocols. All information provided in the DOPHs dashboard should be considered in the context of limitations in data collection, data cleaning, and reporting delays. The data presented are preliminary and subject to change due to the regular updates in case identification and confirmation, or the ongoing efforts to improve data quality. This dashboard will typically be updated on the first Thursday of each month, by end of day, except for holidays. This report represents the most current case counts in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties and replaces all previously reported statistics.
