Annotation: This document describes Rhode Island's public health data integration systems as part of the Title V Data Integration Toolkit. It details two main systems: the RI DataHUB, a statewide longitudinal data system managed by the University of Rhode Island that integrates public health data with education and other social services data; and KIDSNET, a universal database for young children managed by the Rhode Island Department of Health that assigns unique identifiers at birth and tracks health services. The document explains how these systems facilitate data sharing across programs, manage privacy concerns through appropriate agreements and HIPAA compliance, and generate both individual-level reports for service providers and aggregate data for public use.

Annotation: This report describes North Carolina's Early Childhood Integrated Data System (NC ECIDS) as part of the Title V Data Integration Toolkit. It details how the state built this advanced data system with Race to the Top - Early Learning Challenge funding in 2012 and later secured ongoing state funding. The system integrates data from multiple public programs including early childhood education, social services, and public health sources such as SNAP and Child Protective Services, with plans to add WIC data in the future. The report explains the governance structure, which includes an Executive Committee and Program Management Committee with representation from contributing agencies, and outlines the data request and approval process. NC ECIDS generates standard and customizable reports that show unduplicated counts of children receiving services, allowing users to analyze program participation patterns and demographic data.

Annotation: This report discusses the Title V Data Integration Toolkit, focusing on Kentucky's experience with integrating early childhood and public health data into their state's longitudinal data system. In 2015, KCEWS (Kentucky Center for Education and Workforce Statistics) collaborated with GOEC (Governor’s Office of Early Childhood) and the Early Childhood Advisory Council to develop a county-level "Early Childhood Profile" using KLDS (Kentucky’s Longitudinal Data System) data. This profile combines integrated data with data planned for future integration, covering areas such as kindergarten readiness, child care capacity, and early childhood indicators on family, health, and social services. It includes public health data from programs like HANDS home visitation, WIC, and First Steps early intervention. Key takeaways from Kentucky's experience include demonstrating the value of integrated data early, prioritizing privacy and confidentiality, ensuring data sources understand how their data will be used, and learning from other states' experiences with public health data integration.

Annotation: This report outlines a use case for Title V programs to leverage Early Childhood Integrated Data Systems (ECIDS) to analyze developmental screening data for children from birth through age 5. The document is part of the Title V Data Integration Toolkit and focuses on two key questions: how many children are receiving developmental screenings using parent-completed tools, and how many are achieving five-domain developmental health based on these screenings. The document provides detailed guidance on analytic considerations, including the importance of defining which screening tools to analyze, understanding data sources within the ECIDS, and determining how to handle multiple screenings for individual children. A comprehensive list of recommended data elements is provided, including child identifiers, demographic information, and screening-related data. Examples of data visualization are provided using fictitious data, showing how to present overall screening rates and breakdowns by age categories.

Annotation: This report focuses on the Title V Data Integration Toolkit's use case for analyzing community-based services data through Early Childhood Integrated Data Systems (ECIDS). It emphasizes the importance of coordinated and integrated community-based services for children and families, highlighting how data integration can help Title V programs track referrals, monitor progress, and inform decision-making. The report suggests that Title V programs should request a current list of data sources from ECIDS to understand what data can be included in each analysis, and encourages Title V programs to adapt the information to fit their state's specific needs and potentially analyze data by various factors such as time, geographic area, or demographic variables. Overall, this use case aims to help Title V programs leverage ECIDS data to gain insights into community-based services, their utilization, and their impact on children's readiness for kindergarten and overall well-being.

Annotation: This tip sheet from AMCHP provides guidance on integrating Title V data into the Early Childhood Integrated Data Systems (ECIDS), emphasizing the importance of establishing a return on investment (ROI) for Title V programs. The document recommends early engagement between leadership from both the Title V program and ECIDS to discuss ROI and suggests several ways in which ROI can be measured. The importance of documenting and regularly reviewing the ROI is also stressed. The guide incoporates links to presentations on creating a statewide longitudinal data system (SLDS) for further information.
