Birth to 3 Program: SAS
SAS Institute has developed the department’s new Enterprise Data Warehouse/Data Analytics and Reporting (EDW/DAR) Solution, referred to as SAS. The Birth to 3 Program data comes from the Program Participation System (PPS).
For information on using SAS and accessing the pre-built reports, reference the Wisconsin Birth to 3 Program Guide to SAS, P-03567 (PDF). You can also either watch the January 2024 training recording or view the January 2024 training slides.
