Abstract
A system and method for scoring and comparing communities includes the development of community health measures by on combining and supplementing healthcare data and community data from numerous sources. The community health measures may be stored in a community health measures database and may be accessed by interactive tools to generate customized representations of healthcare measures for selected communities. The representations are automatically computed in response to interactive user selections. Geographic map representation, heat map representations and data tables may be automatically generated to identify correlations between health outcomes and population attributes in different communities.
