Earlier this month, Onpoint collaborated with the Vermont Blueprint for Health to host a presentation for the APCD Council’s webinar series on “Innovative Uses of APCDs.” The webinar also featured a presentation of the newly released Colorado Price Compare Data Showcase by Colorado’s Center for Improving Value in Health Care (CIVHC).

Our presentation with the Blueprint, "Profiling to Drive Transformation: Leveraging Linked Claims & Clinical Data Sources," offered a close look at Vermont's innovative health service model, focusing on the methods, measures, and visualization techniques used to develop Blueprint’s practice- and community-level profiles. Presenters discussed the Blueprint's experience with linking integrated claims data (commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid) from Vermont’s APCD with clinical data from the state’s practice registry, how this linkage allows the program to generate a series of risk-adjusted metrics that highlight trends in healthcare delivery across more than 120 adult and pediatric practices and 13 Hospital Services Areas (HSAs), and lessons learned along the way.

A big thank you to the APCD Council, the Blueprint, CIVHC, and all 200 plus attendees who made our first webinar partnership a success!
