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:

if you have thoughts about
your program's data.
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.
