Improved Perinatal Outcome Data Reports

Planning and Evaluation at the Local Level for California Counties

Improved Perinatal Outcomes Data Reports (IPODR) is a system that allows users to view and download the most recent demographic and hospital data about California mothers and infants. The data are available in tables for the most recent year available, in maps aggregating the past three years, and in graphs displaying a 15-year trend. Information is available at the state, county, and zipcode levels. Data are compared to the Healthy People 2010 objectives of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services wherever possible.

IPODR is an excellent tool for California counties to do maternal and child health planning and evaluation at their local level.

To get started viewing data for California counties, go to County Reports.
