HEDA Integration Decision Matrix
Options
Here is the option comparison matrix with a benefits row added at the bottom:
Option 1: Include all of HEDA
Scope: Full data integration of HEDA, availability, location, notes, and other fields
Option 2: Exclude all of HEDA
Scope: No new data integration
Option 3: Include select elements
Scope: Database names and geographical coverage
Dimension | Option 1: Include HEDA | Option 2: Exclude HEDA | Option 3: Hybrid Approach |
