We’re developing resources to enable safe and secure data sharing between state agencies. Combining data from multiple agencies improves program administration, policy analysis, research, and performance management. Resources from the Data and Analytics Policy team on data sharing are listed below.
- Data Sharing Playbook. This playbook is a resource for Connecticut state agencies to streamline data sharing processes. The playbook presents strategies to help agencies share data effectively and appropriately. The Data Sharing Playbook was developed by a team from OPM, the Office of Early Childhood, and Skylight Digital, a digital consultancy for government. The playbook is a work in progress and will continue to be developed in the coming months.
- Legal Issues on Interagency Data Sharing Report. This is a report developed by the Chief Data Officer pursuant to C.G.S. 4-67z, which requires the Chief Data Officer, in consultation with the Attorney General and executive branch agency legal counsel, to submit a report on the legal issues surrounding interagency data sharing. The full reports for each year are included below, followed by topic-specific sections of the Appendix for the 2019 report, which provide more detailed review of state and federal laws.
