How Much Data and How Good? • Does data actually influence policy • Ways to think about investing in more • The softer side of survey and data work
The Supply SideDoes it Matter to States • States are concerned with the health of the safety net, but real uncertainties • Few tools available to easily assess the health of individual providers or “the safety net” • Today’s financial challenges make monitoring tools more critical
Strategies for Access • Value of understanding both supply and demand sides • Value of data investments over time to monitor the impact of policy • Need for closer state and community working relationships to enhance access
