Abstract

Building Uplifted Families (BUF) is a cross-sector community initiative to improve health and economic disparities in Charlotte, North Carolina. A formative evaluation strategy was used to support iterative process improvement and collaborative engagement of cross-sector partners. To address challenges with electronic data collection through REDCap Cloud, we developed the BUF Rapid Dissemination (BUF-RD) model, a multistage data governance system supplemented by open-source technologies, such as: Stage 1) data collection; Stage 2) data integration and analysis; and Stage 3) dissemination. In Stage 3, results were disseminated through an interactive dashboard developed in RStudio using RShiny and Shiny Server solutions. The BUF-RD model was successfully deployed in a 6-month beta test to reduce the time lapse between data collection and dissemination from 3 months to 2 weeks. Having up-to-date preliminary results led to improved BUF implementation, enhanced stakeholder engagement, and greater responsiveness and alignment of program resources to specific participant needs.

摘要

Building Uplifted Families (BUF) 是一项跨部门社区倡议，旨在改善北卡罗来纳州夏洛特的健康和经济差距。形成性评估策略用于支持跨部门合作伙伴的迭代过程改进和协作参与。为了应对通过 REDCap Cloud 进行电子数据收集的挑战，我们开发了 BUF 快速传播 (BUF-RD) 模型，这是一种以开源技术为补充的多阶段数据治理系统，例如： 阶段 1）数据收集；阶段2）数据整合与分析；和阶段 3) 传播。在第 3 阶段，结果通过使用 RShiny 和 Shiny Server 解决方案在 RStudio 中开发的交互式仪表板传播。BUF-RD 模型在 6 个月的 beta 测试中成功部署，将数据收集和传播之间的时间间隔从 3 个月缩短到 2 周。拥有最新的初步结果可以改进 BUF 的实施，增强利益相关者的参与，并更好地响应和调整计划资源对特定参与者的需求。
