Diversity of CO APCD Data Users and Analytics

DIVERSITY OF CO APCD DATA USERS AND ANALYTICS

Stakeholders who received non-public CO APCD data during FY 2020-2021 span the spectrum from digital health innovators to traditional researchers, from major health plans to hospitals and providers in rural and urban areas of the state. Though government agencies receive a

larger percentage of the individual non-public releases due to large, multi-project contracts, they make up a relatively small portion of the overall stakeholder blend requesting data. Over the reporting period, more stakeholders from the researcher and employer sectors received CO APCD data while government agencies and foundations/advocacy groups rounded out the middle.

The diversity of users in FY 2020-2021 is consistent with historical trends. While the variety of users speaks to the utility and versatility of the data, based on the fluctuation in usage patterns, it is impossible to declare that one stakeholder group is more engaged than another. Accessibility of the CO APCD grows each year, and it is clear by the expansion in both users and projects that it is becoming an increasingly vital resource for Colorado.

CIVHC releases CO APCD data in different ways, depending on the question(s) the requestor is hoping to answer and their sophistication with analysis.

Custom and Standard Reports

For stakeholders who would like CIVHC to deliver the data in business intelligence or data visualization tools like Tableau or Excel.

Custom and Standard Data Sets

When partners are interested in performing their own analyses using tools of their choosing and have a strong data background.

Depending on the level of personal health information (PHI) required, the requestor will receive a De-Identified, Limited, or Fully Identifiable Data Set. Every request containing PHI is reviewed by the Data Release and Review Committee to ensure they meet all state and federal privacy regulations prior to moving into production. In FY 2020-2021, more Standard Reports were released than any other type of non-public request, followed by items developed for state contracts.
