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
