Visualizing Health Care Cost and Utilization Data

In close partnership with Freedman Healthcare, the Rhode Island Office of the Health Insurance Commissioner (OHIC) created interactive dashboards that track healthcare costs and usage patterns across the state. This project, part of the Health Spending Accountability and Transparency Program, was developed with Freedman HealthCare and the Health Care Cost Trends Steering Committee. Using data from the All-Payer Claims Database (APCD), these dashboards provide easy-to-understand insights for healthcare providers, insurance companies, policymakers, and residents to help make healthcare more affordable.

FHC analysts build scenarios exploring the impact on cost and market functions, access to care, and quality of services. Data analysis includes multi-payer claims data, hospital financial reports and filings, and catchment areas.

Freedman HealthCare (FHC) designed dashboards using healthcare licensure, wage and employment, and race/ethnicity data. The dashboards show licensees by healthcare profession, median wages for each healthcare profession, and year-over-year changes in employment counts and wages by industry. The dashboards also illustrate the wage progression and career milestones of certified nursing assistants (CNAs).

FHC's Public Facing Dashboards

Rhode Island Office of the Health Insurance Commissioner Data Hub

These dashboards provide transparent reporting on trends in the cost and use of healthcare services in Rhode Island. The purpose is to inform provider organizations, payers, purchasers, policymakers, and state residents interested in improving the affordability of healthcare in Rhode Island. The dashboards employ standard methods for analyzing healthcare spending. Because alternative methods will produce different results, the measures reported here may differ from those generated by the Rhode Island Medicaid program. Individuals eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare, known as dual eligibles, are included only under their primary insurance coverage.
