For this project I decided to contact my father for data, as before this quarter began he asked for me to make a map for his work, so he could use it to possibly streamline or increase efficiency within his division. My father’s job is to locate and assist older adults in Orange County who have mental health issues or disabilities, and to provide assistance if needed. His employees, in this map called caseworkers, are assigned to individuals and are responsible for visiting the different clients to make sure they are maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and to assist them if they request or require counseling or doctor’s visits.
To maintain confidentiality, the addresses are off by a few streets, but the locations of the clients are near their respective locations. The clients are colored by their individual caseworker, listed in the legend. Alongside the client list is the list of individual clinics and treatment centers.
This data can be used for several things. First my father can locate which clients are being treated by which caseworker, and he can use this information to see how much driving the caseworkers must do, and could potentially re-assign caseworkers in order to save gas and increase efficiency. Second, my father can use this information to see the locations of clients in respect to their proximity to different treatment centers and clinics. Overall this map is practical in its design, and will be used to solve real problems, affecting care to different people, as well as creating real business solutions.
Below is the final product sent to my father.
