Data Collection Practices
In October 2020, the Minnesota Olmstead Subcabinet created new workgroups to research ways to better serve people with disabilities in five critical areas. Each group will make recommendations to the Subcabinet based on their research. You can read more about why the workgroups were formed and how to get involved on this page: Minnesota Olmstead Plan Workgroups
What will the Data Collection Practices Workgroup do?
This group will work with State Agency staff to:
- Examine data collection practices to ensure State Agencies collect data to identify and address disparities.
- Identify what data is available to evaluate programs, how that data is used, and what data might be missing.
- Data to evaluate programs is particularly important as we begin to examine healthcare outcomes and racial and ethnic disparities.
State Agencies assigned to this workgroup
- Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED)
- Department of Human Services (DHS)
