Data Verification

As another component of Connecticut's Birth to Three Accountability and Monitoring System, data is collected and verified for accuracy and timeliness at many points during the year. As centralized data increasingly becomes a quality assurance tool and is made public, the importance of accurate data is critical. Several methods for data verification are available to the lead agency and local programs. It is important to note that data is not only the child specific information entered into the Birth to Three Data System, but also information from self-assessments that are completed by programs and complaints received by the lead agency. From time to time the lead agency runs reports by program. These are posted for the program to review.

The most recent tables are posted here:

Outliers may receive phone calls or emails to help confirm the accuracy of the data. If, over time, it is routinely observed that a program is an outlier on reports, that data is not entered in a timely manner, or that the program has faced challenges resulting in a Compliance Agreement or Corrective Action Plan, a data verification visit may be made by the lead agency. Data verification visits are also made randomly to assure that the information reported to the lead agency is timely, valid and reliable.
