CH hit the ground running this week to develop a #FormativeResearch, #DataModernization, and #ChangeManagement approach to support the Massachusetts Department of Public Health in designing a new data tool for local #PublicHealth staff. With our awesome partners at BME Strategies, we're excited to better understand the current data landscape and ways that local health data can support #QualityImprovement and #DataDriven policies across the Commonwealth — so local health officials can better predict and respond to health threats like outbreaks, natural disasters, and infrastructure issues.
