CIVHC is working to increase transparency and
accountability in Colorado’s health care system by making
comparative cost, quality and safety data for all providers,
health plans and medical facilities available to consumers
and businesses statewide. As of December 2013, the APCD
includes 2009-2012 historic claims data representing over
2.5 million Coloradans. Having access to this information,
gives Coloradans the ability to choose the best, most
affordable health care for themselves and their families,
and gives providers incentives to contain costs and ensure
consistently high-quality care.
Aggregated price and quality indicators for commonly used
medical services will be available on the public website,
www.cohealthdata.org on a provider-group name basis.
This information will allow providers, health plans and
patients to compare price and quality across physician
groups.
Physicians and physician groups can use the APCD to
identify opportunities to control costs and improve care by
understanding their patient population health utilization
and costs associated with care for their patient population.
