The Minnesota Department of Health is seeking to update their current data request process. The goal of the project is to improve the data request process and use the information to consider additional external-facing data visualizations to reduce the number of data requests. Specifically, they are interested in learning about:

Process:

• What is your data request process?
  • Do you have different processes for internal agency requests? If yes, what are they?
  • Do you have different processes for media requests? If yes, how are they handled?
• Who completes the data extractions?
• How do you manage data requests?
• What information do capture for tracking data requests?
• Does your IIS charge for data requests?
  • If yes, in what situations? 

Implementation:

• What application(s) do you use to manage data requests?
• How many staff you have for fulfilling data requests?

Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their code set experiences with the IIP! We surpassed our response goal by 65%. We are fortunate to have such a highly engaged and dedicated community. In collaboration with the CDC, the next steps are for the IIP to synthesize the responses for a landscape analysis. More to come and thank you again!
