title: Developing comparative data tools: elements for success.
abstract: Planning the development of comparative data tools is very similar to planning any major project. However, it takes some preliminary work to define the data elements that will be collected in order to ensure longitudinal success of the overall project. INTELLIMED has used the elements outlined above to successfully plan and distribute comparative data products. The elements are meant to promote the development of a plan that is simple to evaluate progress against and easy to follow.
