Impact: the outcomes realized when IDS create insights, drive action and improve lives
The first four components in AISP’s Quality Framework for IDS help us understand the goals of data sharing efforts across our network and what it takes to get there—relationally, technically, and beyond. Impact is how we measure our progress towards those goals and document our achievements. We include impact in our quality framework because administrative data are a public good, and should be used to benefit the public. Impact is about how we turn data into insight and insight into action to improve the lives of residents. It’s about ensuring that we take a moment for celebration, appreciation, and evaluation: what can we accomplish when we bring data together, and what can we do to more fully realize our intended impact?
AISP Network members report that their integrated data systems lead to:
- Improved relationships & trust
- Enhanced evaluation capacity & evidence-based policy-making
- Operational improvements & care coordination
- Financial benefits & return on investment
