The MHDO Data User Group was formed in 2013 and is open to all MHDO data users (Members can be found here). MHDO hosts quarterly, virtual Data User Group meetings (see schedule below for upcoming meeting dates). The purpose of the Data User Group meetings is to provide our data users with information and updates related to MHDO’s ongoing work to improve and enhance the multiple data streams available for release to authorized users. Data Users also provide valuable feedback on how MHDO can improve our processes, including what additional data elements they would like MHDO to consider collecting in order to meet their research needs. If you are interested in being added to the meeting distribution list, please email Webcontact.MHDO@maine.gov.
Data Users may also choose to participate in a peer-led subgroup. These sub-groups, which may be broken out by specific MHDO data stream (i.e. APCD or Hospital), are organized by the data users themselves, and offer a chance for users to discuss the more technical aspects of data analysis and share their own experiences working with MHDO data. These sub-groups have a standing agenda item on the Data User Group meeting to share their insight and questions regarding the use of MHDO data.
