Legal providers are notoriously gun-shy when it comes to data sharing, often leading to unnecessary silos, inefficiency, and a lack of holistic response for people in crisis. However, other fields have built safe, effective models for data sharing in highly sensitive areas the legal field can learn from. This panel will feature representatives from a homelessness service provider and a data systems technologist discussing their experience with HMIS (Homeless Management Information Services) and other data-sharing systems, and how it has strengthened coalition and client outcomes. This panel will discuss data privacy, data sharing agreements, technology infrastructure and systems to allow for safe and effective data sharing, and a discussion of the impact of data sharing across sectors.
