Abstract

The Kane County IRIS network has generated and maintained a robust and efficient network of community partners who provide support to young children and their families in this Illinois community by leveraging deidentified data collected through IRIS. By emphasizing cross-system collaboration, their partnerships focus on providing innovative support and preventative measures to impacted families through successful engagement and collaboration. In doing so, they have fostered a coordinated network of partners who remain accountable to the vision of connecting all families to needed services.
