National Conference Callon Data Quality – Coming Soon

• What do you know the quality of your state’s outcomes data?

• Do you know how much missing data you have? How much is reasonable?

Missing data is still a major problem for many states. Join us to learn about how much progress has been made and how your state compares to the national numbers.
