Data Collection

DHHS depends on Providers to share data about the supports individuals are receiving in their journey to Competitive Integrated Employment (CIE). This data allows us to evaluate performance and identify best practices, identify barriers to CIE that can be addressed, and compare demographics and populations to ensure equal opportunity.

DHHS hosts training and technical assistance calls for LME/MCOs and Providers on the CIE Data Collection Tool. Additional information can be found in this Training Guide.
