This section provides links on the Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services Data, Surveillance Systems & Statistical Reports. Collectively they provide a comprehensive suite of public health data tools and resources. Under the Community Health Assessment and Intervention Planning section, the highlighted links cover statewide planning documents such as the Missouri State Health Assessment and the Missouri State Health Improvement Plan, which lay the foundation for understanding and addressing the health needs of Missouri residents.
Supporting those planning efforts are several data platforms — including MOPHIMS (Missouri Public Health Information Management System), MICA (Missouri Information for Community Assessment), Community Data Profiles, and the Social Drivers of Health Dashboard — that give users access to granular health statistics at the state, county, and city levels. For those new to these systems, links to Health Data Training and a MOPHIMS Demo Webinar offer practical guidance. The selection also emphasizes mortality and overdose data, featuring the Drug Overdose Dashboard, the SUDORS Dashboard for unintentional drug overdose reporting, and the MOVDRS Dashboard for violent death reporting, reflecting a focus on Missouri's ongoing public health challenges around substance use. Rounding out the selection are resources related to population health metrics, including Life Expectancy Data, Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL) Data, the Age Adjustment Worksheet, and the 2023 Vital Statistics Focus Report — together offering a multi-dimensional picture of mortality trends and health outcomes across the state
