3. Improving data quality
Conclusion
DH needs to improve the VADC’s data quality so it has complete and accurate information about AOD services across the state.
DH makes limited use of VADC data to monitor AOD services and DFFH uses it to broadly monitor individual providers' performance.
DH understands the data quality issues that affect the VADC and is working to address them. This will likely achieve some improvement in data quality.
