WI ECIDS Overview
In 2011, The State of Wisconsin committed to developing an Early Childhood Integrated Data System (ECIDS) to support regular data exchanges as well as ad hoc research requests. Early childhood data linkages have been established between the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), the Department of Health Services (DHS) and the Department of Children and Families (DCF). The WI ECIDS was implemented in December of 2017 and is now available for use by DPI, DCF and DHS personnel.

Wisconsin's ECIDS Mission Statement:
The use of the ECIDS will result in better outcomes for Wisconsin children, families and communities by providing the participating agencies' (currently DCF, DPI and DHS) internal researchers, content specialists and analysts with cross-departmental information to guide decisions about investing resources in effective, sustainable strategies while maintaining privacy, confidentiality and departmental accountability.
