NACCHO has partnered with the LHD Academy of Science to expand its capabilities in data collection, data calibration, and data standardization for NACCHO members. Through this strategic partnership, LHD Academy of Science will provide NACCHO members with a common platform that has the sole focus of bringing together local health departments (LHDs) to standardize, calibrate, aggregate, and benchmark local health department data. This session will cover the national movement and efforts to solve this issue.
