Good decisions rely on good data.
One of the key criteria of data quality is its timeliness. With the WEN in place, policy maker tolerance for long delays in the availability of data is growing short. Alleviating delays requires more coordination and collaboration about how the information should be stored, formatted and extracted. The sessions at this meeting will focus on the status of electronic data collection to data and the framework for organizing efforts. There will also be an open discussion for the collaborative development of solutions.
