The existence of adequate and reliable information to assess population health is essential to build solid strategies for public health promotion and social care, as to help demonstrate efficient investment in these areas. There are several health-related databases, covering different scales: World, Europe, or National, including several datasets with different details. These different datasets should be reviewed and selected on the basis of their ability to support efficient strategies associated with monitoring population health and their usefulness in the promotion of health care efficiency. To understand the relevance of these database infrastructures when integrated with Web-based, geographical information management tools, and use these to improve the knowledge of health issues, this chapter integrates examples related to enhancing the performance analysis of this collaborative spatial data infrastructure in three distinct areas: national health systems and health care; disease prevalence studies in different countries, and integrated analysis of environment quality and public health.

Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the history and background to a general desire to try to find ways to improve population health through primary care and public health. The first Practical Playbook derived from an internet-based initiative that sought to find, assemble, assess, and share stories of how communities and agencies across the United States were working together to improve health. This text is the second development from that, after the realization that a completely new text was needed that would build on the experiences of the broadening array of sites and sectors and provide a concise set of tools, methods, and examples that support multi-sector partnerships to improve population health. The chapter then outlines the coverage of the rest of the chapters.
