Future Plans • Stay in touch with the evolving needs of our customers • Need continued input and feedback • Continue to fold in updated data: • Use a variety of sources to identify new Operator Lists (new or just missing data)
Future Plans • Develop more tools to make use of existing or improved data more effectively • Fine Tune Models on Risk • Look at who is not submitting data • Change how we see the data
Future Plans • Assist in defining and updating required data • What repeat enforcement actions exist and does this lead to changes that may be needed? • Continue work to define and share Region best practices
