Researchers have observed shortcomings in data collection and collaboration efforts faced by Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) counselors and agencies. These shortcomings include inefficient paper-based processes and obstacles to data collection. In addition, procuring and maintaining VR databases is left up to individual states, most of which approach these challenges in siloes, resulting in unconnected systems and the missed opportunity to open and learn from that data.
10x will research innovative ways to connect these 50+ VR databases, which could deliver impact for people with disabilities through more employment opportunities and by freeing up time for case workers to focus on serving their users.
