Stronger measurement of impact across systems Sacramento County: Building a Shared Data Dashboard
In parallel, Sacramento’s Public Health GIS Suicide Prevention Dashboard (see here) provides a powerful, complementary example of data integration. Developed with stakeholder input and grounded in public health, the GIS dashboard visualizes suicide trends and risk factors geographically, allowing agencies and community partners to align prevention efforts in real time. Together, these initiatives illustrate how shared data infrastructure can strengthen cross-system accountability and accelerate learning across the county’s ecosystem of care. Community-based organizations also can play a key role in contributing their insights— they often have trusted relationships, local data, and insights that public systems can learn from.
Sacramento County has made data the cornerstone of its system-of-care
transformation. Starting with its AB 2083 Interagency Leadership Team (ILT), county leaders committed to prevention and early intervention and to holding themselves collectively accountable. As of summer 2025, they are in the final stages of developing a cross-agency performance dashboard that links outcomes and program measures across child welfare, behavioral health, probation, Regional Centers, education, public health, and other system-of-care partners. Data experts and the county’s Child, Youth and Family System of Care Advisory Team have worked together to identify measures that not only reflect each agency’s work but also reveal how their efforts connect. Semi-annual reports to the ILT help leaders highlight trends, adjust practice, and allow partners to make decisions together. The dashboard intentionally informs both policy and frontline action.
