User Guides
We have created (or linked to) several user guides that help you understand particular data sets, resources, analysis methods, and more. These guides are intended to give you an overview and guidance on how to use a particular resource that otherwise may seem daunting.
PCSA data cover the availability of medical providers and utilization of health care by Medicare recipients. This user guide was created to help SAVI users better understand and utilize this valuable but complex data set. The User Guide gives an introduction to PCSA data, provides examples of how PCSA data can be used, includes a glossary of terms and abbreviations, and lists PCSA categories and indicators found in SAVI.
Are you looking for data for your community? Do you know how to start your search? The Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute’s Community Health Engagement Program, in partnership with The Polis Center at IUPUI, created this data volume of the resource guide to assist individuals looking for data. The SAVI Community Information System was used for many of the data concept examples presented in the first volume of this guide.
Suggestions on how this resource guide can be improved are welcome! To provide feedback, please contact Michelle at (317) 278-3780 or
