Partners in Child Development

Common issues resolved by COMET

Child professionals want to collect and understand large volumes of subject-centric data

• Often paper based and scattered
• Data is stored in various systems or multiple databases
• Data is lost over time
• Data can be unreliable

Data, when collected, is not always used

• Returned to providers months after it is collected
• Too aggregated (i.e.: pass/fail) to be useful with planning
• Datasets are too large and staff is unable to understand the information
• Data is not collected or formatted for evaluation, research or policy analyses
