Creating Useful Information from Data

The initial chapters of this year’s Report focus on creating information from data. Chapter 1 summarizes original VPQ research based on analysis of Medicare billing data. This work is important because of the unique potential to look at the care that our older citizens receive across care settings and the potential to equate utilization and cost with health outcomes. Chapter 2 makes the case for a coordinated effort across both public and private sectors in Vermont to develop more access to health care data and improvements in the data itself. This need is critical in view of potential new reform efforts and evaluating the success of those in place.
