How does PATRIOTlink ensure its resources are accurate?

The PATRIOTlink platform maintains the accuracy of organization and program information through automated data verification. The initial design of the platform required 60-minute research and a 30-minute verification phone call of a program profile. This was conducted by program specialists on a weekly basis to ensure each profile in PATRIOTlink was vetted and verified.

Today, through the implementation of automation, PATRIOTlink is verified through the system. Every 6 months, the platform sends an editable profile to the program point of contact to verify the information and provide edits where necessary. Once the point of contact submits the profile, the PATRIOTlink team conducts quality assurance to ensure the information is concise and consistent. The team confirms the information and submits the profile to appear on the front end of the platform for users to access the information.
