The 13th National Child Welfare Data and Technology Conference

Monday, July 19 – Wednesday, July 21, 2010
Hyatt Regency Bethesda

The conference will highlight successful data integration and will explore the process of combining data from various sources to provide users with a clear and unified perspective of complex issues. As child welfare systems across the country seek to make meaningful and lasting improvements in service to children and families, it is clear that agencies cannot achieve success in a vacuum. Courts and child welfare agencies, along with key service providers, must coordinate and integrate their goals, approaches and strategies in serving the same children, youth, and families. Tribes that provide services to their families face the challenge of collecting data on a wide range of services. Data integration contributes to a holistic view of our clients, but raises both business and technology issues.

Another form of data integration we aim to explore relates to the use of data to inform practice. It is essential that data and data collection systems are considered from the very beginning when organizations are in the process of making systems change. A priority within the field of child welfare is also using data throughout the organization in order to inform practice, to plan, to manage, and to measure results.

Please plan to join us for this exciting conference!
