CHCD Houses Comprehensive and Diverse Datasets
Using Claims Data
Claims data offers insight across time on the cost of care, inpatient/outpatient visits, health outcomes, incidence, and disease prevalence in a large number of the population.
Alongside claims data, Non-Medical Drivers of Health datasets can provide information on the environment, economic status, social and community impact, education, access to care, and how these impact health and healthcare.
