To comply with the SAMHSA State Opioid Response (SOR) federal grant, programs receiving KORE funding are contractually required to participate in specific data collection and reporting efforts, which are essential to ensuring accountability and improving services at every level.
Why Data Collection Matters
KORE's data collection efforts serve multiple purposes:
Programs gain insight into their clients' outcomes and the effectiveness of their services.
KORE uses data to evaluate the impact and quality of its funded programs.
The Commonwealth of Kentucky and SAMHSA utilize the data for grant monitoring and accountability purposes.
Congress uses the data to assess the return on federal investment in opioid response initiatives.
What Data Is Collected?
KORE-funded treatment and recovery programs collect two types of data:
- Reach data tracks how many individuals are served and what types of support they receive
- Client-level outcome data captures how clients' lives change as a result of receiving services
What is the KORE Data Capture Platform?
The KORE Data Capture System is a secure, HIPAA-compliant, web-based data entry portal designed to capture real-time information about KORE-funded services. The KORE Data Capture System is powered by RADOR-KY and tracks the number of people served and the types of services provided. It enables KORE and its programs to engage in continuous quality improvement. This platform also supports state and local decision-making by providing timely, actionable data for overdose prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery efforts.
