Hi Nick,
I'm looking for what data the department is collecting, but not the data itself. Does that make sense? So, whether the department is collecting data on marital status, region, etc for maternal deaths. I'm not in the office today but I can give you a call tomorrow to clarify if that would be helpful!
Best,
Adanya

Dear Adanya Lustig,
We received your clarification on October 25, 2017, for the following records: sources of data and methodology used in developing the report. Thank you for your clarification.
I have enclosed a PDF of the final 2017 maternal mortality report identified as responsive records to your public records disclosure request for a first installment. The report details our sources of data and methodology used in developing the report. In our next installment, we will provide the data headers so you can get more detail on what information we are pulling from the data sources.
We estimate the agency will be able to locate, assemble, review for exemptions, and then provide the next installment of records responsive to your request on or before November 6, 2017.
In the event you no longer need the requested records, please notify us.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact our office at PCHPublicRecordsRequests@doh.wa.gov or by phone at (360) 236-3574.
