Committee Update The Greater Cincinnati Health Council in partnership with OHA will be transitioning the THUS to a web-tool. Representatives of the committee, along with Council and OHA staff, met on February 16nd via a web-based telephone conference call to begin the development of the new web-based tool.
The purpose of this meeting was to get initial sign-off on data definitions and to provide oversight of the process.
The Web Tool Working Group will continue to meet electronically over the next few months to oversee the development of this new tool and to sign-off on various steps. The Council plans to roll out the new product in June 2005.
