Co-establishing an infrastructure for routine data collection to address disparities in infant mortality: planning and implementation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Efforts to address infant mortality disparities in Ohio have historically been adversely affected by the lack of consistent data collection and infrastructure across the community-based organizations performing front-line work with expectant mothers, and there is no established template for implementing such systems in the context of diverse technological capacities and varying data collection magnitude among participating organizations.

Methods

Taking into account both the needs and limitations of participating community-based organizations, we created a data collection infrastructure that was refined by feedback from sponsors and the organizations to serve as both a solution to their existing needs and a template for future efforts in other settings.
