Data Management

Since the early 1980s, Onpoint Health Data has been developing and working with healthcare claims and utilization databases, collecting, warehousing, and maintaining complete data systems. We work closely with clients to build customized, accurate, high-quality databases to meet their specific needs. We perform extensive edit and logic checking on all received data, removing duplicates and reviewing records for quality and accuracy. Data sets are enhanced with Onpoint-developed, value-added services and data elements.

Experience developing claims databases
Onpoint Health Data has been a front-runner in the development of All Payer Claims Databases (APCDs) across the country. In 1994, we became the first in the nation to build a multipayer, all-settings claims database for a coalition of Maine’s largest employers, and we've successfully implemented statewide APCDs in Maine (2002), New Hampshire (2005), Massachusetts (2007), Vermont (2008), and Minnesota (2009). Onpoint Health Data increasingly is the go-to resource for states and other private initiatives interested in developing their own APCD. We offer unmatched experience and knowledge, a track record of careful and timely execution, and in-house analytic staff able to move clients quickly from data aggregation to data use.
