The Goal: Sharing real time data across

agencies to improve outcomes for youth

• Integrate data across age groups

• Integrate data across common outcome areas

• Integrate multiple types of information (demographics, youth

indicators, participation data, quality/performance data, program

availability data, provider/workforce capacity data, availability data, provider/workforce capacity data,

resource/investment data)

• Integrate data across levels and boundaries

• Integrate data across systems

• Find proactive solutions to preserving confidentiality

• States currently trying to do this: FL, TN, ME and others
