AHRQ ACTS Visualization

The visual map dynamically generates a visualization of AHRQ ACTS project artifacts (there is also a slightly different alternative rendering).

One navigates through the map by clicking on the label of an object. The map then dynamically redraws itself with that object as the center of the display. A text box in the upper right corner lists the objects that are related to the selected node.

The shapes have the following usage:

  • The rectangle is simply the root of the diagram
  • The squares are Critifcal Success Factors (CSF)
  • The triangles are Focus Areas
  • The circles are standards initiatives
  • The stars are Interventions
  • The ellipses are architectural views

Additional navigation features:

  • Position the mouse on an object shape (not its text label) to drag the object along the canvas. This is useful to uncover objects that are covered by other objects if the map gets cluttered.
  • Click and hold the mouse on the background to drag the entire canvas.
  • Use the scroll button on the mouse or the browser's "zoom" feature to zoom the canvas in and out.
  • Use the browser's "find" function to search for a particular text label on the canvas. Remember that text may not be visible on the canvas (may require zooming out), or can become covered by other objects and appears in the text box in the upper right corner as well.
  • There is a node list report.
