In addition to enabling CDPH GIS professionals to use the data, having the datasets in an open data portal allows geospatial experts and developers worldwide to make good use of it as well.\r\n\r\nThe department uses its open data to create maps, apps, and websites that better share information with the public. The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/gis.cdph.ca.gov\/HAI\/map\">My Hospital's Infections web map<\/a>, for example, shows the rates at which California hospitals have cases of common infections, such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium difficile infections (CDI). The department also created the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/gis-apps.cdph.ca.gov\/responsegis\">Fire Response GIS 2015 site<\/a>\u00a0to share the public health effects of the 2015 California fire season.\r\n\r\nCDPH has a long history of distributing public maps and geospatial data using enterprise-level GIS that integrates both proprietary and open-source technology. The department's implementation\u2014which is managed by the application support and development branch of CDPH's information and technology support division\u2014includes ArcGIS for Desktop, ArcGIS Online, Google Maps, JavaScript, Java, and PHP.\r\n\r\nCurrently, CDPH is expanding its ArcGIS Open Data site to incorporate the collection of open data managed by the California Health and Human Services Agency (CHHS). This includes data from all agency departments, such as the Department of Health Care Services, the Emergency Medical Services Authority, the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development, and the Department of Social Services. When complete, the CDPH ArcGIS Open Data portal will establish a direct link with CHHS's own open data site.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/gis-apps.cdph.ca.gov\/opendata\">Explore CDPH's open data<\/a>.\r\n\r\nView\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/opendata.arcgis.com\/\">other websites<\/a>\u00a0powered by ArcGIS Open Data.
