9. Re-organizing the Health facility level data to allow its use in a GIS
Exercise 3 – Part 3
Re-organizing the Health facility level data to allow its use in a GIS
Open the template file in excel (Template_EmONC_Kampong-Cham_2016.xlsx)
Reorganize the content of the Start_EmONC_Kampong-Cham_2016.xlsx into the Template:
One health facility per row
One information per column
Health facility unique identifier, name and other fields in white from the health facility master list
EmONC status data from the Start_EmONC_Kampong-Cham_2016.xlsx
Fill the Metadata

10. Exercise 3 - Conclusion Result of the matching exercise
Match obtained for all 10 facilities
Difference observed in the name of the ODs between the list of EmONC and the health facility master list
One of the two might not be up-to-date
Sometime the match can not be obtained for all the facilities in the database
This could result in loss of data in the final map

11. Exercise 3 - Conclusion
Re-organizing statistical data that are not properly organized in the first place might be very time consuming and prone to errors
Not using a master list as the reference for data collection and sharing (unique identified, name,…) can results in an important loss of data when trying to do the match
Good geo-spatial data management practices is key to a powerful use of GIS and other geospatial technologies, and therefore thematic mapping
