What is AbsTrac?
|
|
|
AbsTrac is a web-based, automated absenteeism tracking system which was
developed in conjunction with IndexBlue (software developer) throughout the
fall of 2004. AbsTrac collects data from selected school districts and displays
the absenteeism information in three formats. These formats include geospatial,
normalized chart/bar graphs, and spreadsheets. The system development and
initiation was solely funded by the Franklin County Board of Health’s local
Public Health Infrastructure Grant monies. |
|
|
Realizing that diseases and disasters do not follow political boundaries, the
Franklin County Board of Health designed the system to include all counties of
the Central Ohio Homeland Security Region. This enables each local health
jurisdiction in the Central Region to quickly recruit and activate school
districts. |

AbsTrac was created by the following team: |
