This October, Onpoint will be hitting the road to join the annual conference of the National Association of Health Data Organizations (NAHDO), where we will be taking part in the conversation around the evolving information needs of data consumers and the technical improvements and solutions required to support them. This year’s 30th anniversary meeting will reflect on NAHDO’s past accomplishments and consider the future of the organization as well as the implications of recent innovations in healthcare database resources, with specific focus on the all-payer claims database (APCD).

Onpoint is proud to help support NAHDO as a sponsor and exhibitor at this year’s event in Washington, DC, where industry leaders – from the federal, state, and private sectors – will gather to discuss topics focused on innovative healthcare data collection and reporting. We look forward to connecting with colleagues from around the country to explore some of the latest developments and learn more about NAHDO’s important work.

At this year’s meeting, Pat Jones, Health Care Project Director for Vermont’s Green Mountain Care Board, will be joined by Onpoint Health Services Researcher Amy Kinner, MS, as part of a panel presentation exploring how new technologies are driving system transformation. Jones and Kinner will discuss how unifying performance measurement across an entire population through the intersection of Vermont’s two critical healthcare reform initiatives – the Blueprint for Health medical home program and the state’s three Accountable Care Organizations participating in Medicare, Medicaid, and/or commercial Shared Savings Programs – will effectively advance the state’s care delivery transformation.
