Data, Evaluation, and Technical Assistance Team
The Data, Evaluation, and Technical Assistance (DAETA) team conducts translational research to strengthen the mental health system of care in Oregon. We develop data systems, monitor clinical and program outcomes, and analyze collected data to identify areas for systems improvement. Using a collaborative approach, the team works to bridge the experiences of those who provide funding and oversight of mental health services, those who provide the services, and the individuals who receive them.
The team fosters data-driven decision making to strengthen the youth mental health system of care in Oregon. We specialize in monitoring and evaluating mental health programs, with the goals of:
- Improving patient experience and quality of care
- Providing training and workforce development to clinical and peer providers
- Strengthening coordination and communication across the system of care
- Advocating for equity in referral practices, payment structures, and access to care
The DAETA team is currently funded by and partners with the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to monitor and evaluate multiple programs. Use the links below to learn more about each program.
