| Trading Partner Agreement |
|
The purpose of a Data Sharing or Trading Partner Agreement (TPA) is to document and formalize the processes for managing the flow of information between programs or agencies. In EPHT, TPAs are used to clarify the arrangements between the EPHT Program and the provider of the data that will be placed on the EPHT Network.
The first page of the agreement provides background about EPHT and the purpose of a TPA. The body of the agreement is an electronic fill-in or printable form that covers participants, purpose, description, access, and limitations of use of the particular dataset as well as contract administration, authorized users, relevant attachments, and signatures of parties with the authority to enter into the agreement.
This TPA template is provided as an example that can be modified for use by other programs that do not have data sharing agreement forms or are in the process of developing a new one.

ArcExplorerTM is a free GIS data viewer developed by ESRI® and offers an easy way to perform a variety of basic GIS functions, including display, query, and data retrieval applications. It can be used on its own with local data sets or as a client to Internet data and map servers.
CAMEO® is a system of software applications used widely to plan for and respond to chemical emergencies. There are three software products, a mapping application called MARPLOT, an atmospheric dispersion model used for evaluating releases of hazardous chemical vapors called ALOHA, and a database of over 6,000 hazardous chemicals, 80,000 synonyms, and product trade names called CAMEO.
CrimeStat® is a spatial statistics program for the analysis of crime incident locations. The program is Windows-based and interfaces with most desktop GIS programs. The purpose is to provide supplemental statistical tools to aid law enforcement agencies and criminal justice researchers in their crime mapping efforts. These statistical tests may be applicable to environmental public health analysis.
Environmental Protection Agency website providing links to a number of public domain software packages that conduct ground-water and vadose zone modeling.
Epi InfoTM allows an epidemiologists and other public health and medical professionals to rapidly develop a questionnaire or form, customize the data entry process, and enter and analyze data. Epidemiologic statistics, tables, graphs, and maps can be produced. Epi Map displays geographic maps with data from Epi Info™.
GeoVISTA Studio is an open software development environment designed for geospatial data. Studio allows users to quickly build applications for geocomputation and geographic visualization, with no programming required.
HealthySEAT is the Evironmental Protection Agency Healthy School Environments Assessment Tool, a new software assessment tool for use in evaluating the school environment. The tool will allow school administrators to assess mold, asbestos, lead paint and other issues and manage the information in a database format.
Link Plus is a probabilistic record linkage program developed at CDC's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control in support of the CDC's National Program of Cancer Registries (NCPR). Link Plus was written as a linkage tool for cancer registries. It is an easy-to-use, stand-alone, Microsoft Windows-based application that can be run in two modes: to detect duplicates in a cancer registry database, or to link a cancer registry file with external files. No barriers exist that prevent using the program with data other than cancer registry data.
MapInfo® ProViewerTM is a lightweight GIS viewer that allows you to share MapInfo Professional® maps and analyses with clients and co-workers.
SaTScan™ software analyzes spatial, temporal and space-time data using the spatial, temporal, or space-time scan statistics. It is designed for performing geographical surveillance of disease, detecting spatial or space-time disease clusters, testing whether a disease is randomly distributed, and performing repeated time-periodic disease surveillance for the early detection of disease outbreaks.

| ESRI ArcGIS QuickStart Manual |
|
|
In 2004 the Oregon Environmental Public Health Tracking (EPHT) program awarded capacity building mini-grants to six local health departments to convert records to electronic format, purchase software, train staff, and/or track environmental hazards and health outcomes.
As a result of discussions with the mini-grant counties about barriers they were encountering, Oregon EPHT staff developed and implemented a follow-up Technical Outreach Program. One of the resulting products from the Technical Outreach Program was a Geographic Information System (GIS) Quick Start Manual for the ESRI® ArcGIS® 9 software* and a companion set of GIS files and tables. This manual was not intended to replace existing training resources but was intended to facilitate training of basic skills in GIS for those with no GIS training or experience.
The manual and companion datasets are available for download. Instructions and files are provided "as is" and the data files should not be used for analysis or as reference as they were intended for training purpose only. The data files are compressed in a ZIP file that contains a file named "readme.txt". Please Read this file for information on the specifics of the GIS training data.
Companion Files for use with the Quick Start Manual (zip) - Last Updated in July, 2005
