OBJECTIVE:
· Provide details registry partnerships and collaborative design efforts.
· Describe how collaboration in registry design and development can improve value and influence design and development costs.
· Provide examples of state specific registry functional enhancements improved or gained by collaboration

· Data and information inclusive of registry standards and requirements from the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention.

RESULT:
· State specific registry development and design efforts were enhanced by collaboration
· Examination/discovery of potential registry enhancements were enriched by sharing of requirements
· Design, development time and costs were positively affected by collaborations
· Knowledge about and potential solutions to emerging standards and requirements were promoted or addressed by cross state partnerships

CONCLUSION:
Collaborations between state registries in design and development efforts can enrich knowledge sharing; inform designers and decision makers, and positively impact costs and development time

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
· Learn how registry partnerships affect registry design and development efforts between states
· Discover how collaboration in registry design and development can improve registry value and influence design and development costs.
· See examples of state specific registry functional enhancements gained as a result of the collaboration
