DIME: Abt’s Data Integration and Management Ecosystem
Historically, data collection has been a process that takes years to complete, analyze, and share. But, as Brian Sokol points out in his new blog, this approach is no longer feasible post-pandemic: the CDC needs data faster, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Sokol explains how Abt’s Data Integration and Management Ecosystem (DIME) is helping address the need for rapid, accurate data.
Narrowing the Equity Gap and Promoting Social Determinants of Health Approaches
Closing the gap in health equity requires a multi-layered approach. Abt’s Dr. Jean O’Connor and Frank Alexander explain how working across the social determinants of health provides the greatest chance of making progress. Learn more about how data collection and systems are playing a crucial role.
