HRSA Data Warehouse Tools

The tools in the HRSA Data Warehouse provide access to the data in a variety of ways. In broad terms they fall into three categories:

• One-click tools: These tools provide the shortest path and fastest access to data, but offer only limited selection criteria to refine them, and little or no option in how the results are formatted and returned. In other words, these tools are not interactive.
• Quick access tools: tools intended to focus on providing a simple means of answering a particular question (e.g. "Where can I find free or low-cost health care near my home?") or accomplishing a specific task ("I need to get a list of the HPSAs in my county, with all of their components."). These tools generally feature simple input or selection screens, and do not offer complex, advanced selection or output options. These tools are minimally interactive.
• Fully-interactive tools: These tools provide the greatest flexibility in terms of the content you can choose to include or exclude, and how you would like the results formatted and delivered. As a result, naturally, these are also the most complex tools the HRSA Data Warehouse offers.

Most of the tools within each category above can be grouped by the data they offer.
