system includes an automatic character
counter that tells the user how many
characters the states have left. This
eliminates the need to independently
track entries against the Maternal and
Child Health Bureau’s limits for each
section and ensures compliance. The
electronic system includes forms status
checker and data alerts, which conduct
automated checks on data validity, data
consistency, and application
completeness, as well as value tolerance
checks. This facilitates application
review and eliminates much of
previously required data cleaning

obtain an immediate update at any point

compliance of the application, reducing
the need to conduct a review of the
application. Data are saved directly to
