These PowerPoints are from the 2018 Research and Evaluation Conference on Self-Sufficiency (RECS). Individuals and families in need often access services from a number of programs and providers. While the field is shifting toward a more holistic approach to service delivery, the technologies used to manage data often lags behind. This session, moderated by Kathleen Moore (Administration for Children and Families/Institute for Research on Poverty), explored the value of integrated data systems to improve service delivery and program outcomes and discuss examples of states engaged in such efforts. Nicole Deterding (Administration for Children and Families/Business Strategy Consultants) served as a discussant. Various methodologies were used across the presentations. (Author introduction)
