“We found that the Ohio registry’s data is unique, reliable, robust, and valid. This included more than 97% of the initial registry data passing data quality standards. Ohio also had preexisting procedures to continuously improve the remaining 3%. I wish more of the private, public, and independent sector leaders who reach out had this initial quality of data as a starting point for analytics. The good news is registries are uniquely suited to accelerate to this level with powerful returns for the workforce, children, and decision makers.”
