  3. Lessons Learned • From Paper Form to Laptop Computer • Get wide Range of Input • Business Process • Technology • Quality of Data • Legal Issues • Data Analysis & Problem Identification

  4. Paper form Put as much as possible on as few as possible pages Often no logical order Template use Computer Use layout convenient for police officers to enter Fast and easy data entry Logical order Crash Vehicle Written Report Drawing Paper versus Computers Use of layout of “well designed” paper crash report allows easy transition from paper to laptop!

  5. Lessons Learned • Acknowledgements and Research Questions • Paper form – Computer • Get wide range of input • Business Process • Technology • Quality of Data • Legal Issues • Data Analysis & Problem Identification

  6. Get wide range of input! • Police officers • Traffic Engineers • Data entry personnel • State, City and small agencies • Safety professionals • IT personnel
