A Partnership Approach to reporting outcomesThe Data Exchange partners with funding agencies and organisations to support better use of data in gaining insights about client outcomes. Organisations participating in the partnership approach use the Data Exchange’s streamlined system to report outcomes data on their services. Outcomes data is collected using SCORE (Standard Client/Community Outcomes Reporting).
