Anyone and everyone involved with operations and decision making at an agency should definitely check it out.  Not only does it tell you what 50 pieces of data every human services agency should be tracking, it tells you how to use the data once you have it and shares some real life agency applications.  [Read More](https://info.medisked.com/blog/50-pieces-of-data-every-agency-should-be-tracking) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.medisked.com/blog/50-pieces-of-data-every-agency-should-be-tracking#comments-listing) Tags: [Data](https://info.medisked.com/blog/topic/data) ## [New CDC Report Says 1 in 5 Americans Has a Disability.

That’s a pretty big statement to make – so it makes sense that some pretty big news outlets (like [USA Today](http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/07/30/american-adults-disability/30881975/) and [PBS](http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/news-wrap-cdc-finds-1-5-adults-u-s-disability/)) are reporting on the story.
