Data for Change Year II
Continuing our partnership with the Providence Community Health Division, we’re proud to extend CORE’s Data for Change program for a second year! After a successful year with our first cohort of seven community-based organizations, we’ll bring together a new group and help them grow their capacity to use data to support positive and lasting change. We’ll be announcing our 2022 cohort soon! Learn about last year’s cohort in our blog.
Early Discussion and Resolution Program
The Oregon Patient Safety Commission’s Early Discussion & Resolution program provides patients and families a confidential, safe, and transparent mechanism for having conversations with providers following incidents of patient harm. CORE will provide technical assistance and consulting services to help inform OPSC's data strategy for the program. Learn more

CORE is working with the RFTS team to support their growth by doing an environmental scan and creating a data development strategy that focuses on the early education workforce in Oregon and where the program fits among the region’s early childhood organizations and efforts.
