Information Sharing and Data Systems
Shared information systems should be addressed by the collaborative because these are the prerequisites for joint accountability. Joint information systems, which form the basis of communicating across systems, must be used to track progress toward joint goals and to determine whether joint outcomes are achieved. Without the effective communication and sharing of information the partnership will have no guideposts to gauge its programs’ effectiveness.
