Our Data Dashboard does this based on insights from data collected over a period of time determined by the user (i.e. last month, quarter, year). Data dashboards provide an objective view of performance metrics and serve as an effective foundation for further dialogue. The Data Dashboard provides access to current and historical lifespan respite data for the designated six regions of the Nebraska Lifespan Respite Network; Western, Southwest, Central, Southeast, Eastern, and Northern. The underlying data used to generate the dashboard graphs are based on data sets from the publicly-funded and volunteer programs identified. Additional data will be included in future releases of the Dashboard. Please note that each individual dashboard page provides additional information pertaining to the data provided.
If you have additional questions about the Data Dashboard, or to contribute Nebraska respite-related activity data to the Dashboard, please contact your local NLRN respite coordinator: https://respite.ne.gov/family-caregivers/contact-respite-coordinator
