EScore (Electronic Service Coordination, Outcomes, Research and Evaluation) introduces a web-based technology platform that will provide key stakeholders at local levels the ability to gain access to data related to census tracking, service coordination activities, and outcomes associated with those efforts.

The platform will provide counties with the ability to view and download their own site-specific data in near real time, thus not having to wait for OSU or any other state entity to provide information about their data gathering activities. The resulting information will position county professionals to manipulate their own databases in order to generate county-specific information about service coordination, as well as provide them with the ability to run basic reports (e.g., census information related to who was served by a given county’s service coordination efforts) at the touch of a button.

In addition to developing, testing, monitoring, and upgrading the Internet platform, the OSU Center for Family Research will provide technical assistance and training to county workers on navigation and ongoing use of the website, as well as entering, coordinating, downloading, manipulating and interpreting the data that are collected at the county level.
