Open Government Data

Access to high quality data is critical to innovation, quality improvement, and increased efficiency in health care1

3 Keys to success- Expansion of data access- Leverage nongovernmental partners and applications- Improve data iteratively and focus on data and

information as a line of business Data has the power to transform care by providers,

inform consumers, and drive disruptive innovations1 Conway PH and Vanlare JM. Improving Access to Health Care Data. The Open Government Strategy. JAMA. 2010 Sep 1;304(9):1007-8.

The Potential for Government Data to Enable Transformation and CMS Compare Tools

Google analytics – our new platform for Compare ToolsData now more reliableDevelop and use metrics that ensure we’re

having the intended effectFunnel Conversions: Ways to see how users

are moving through the workflow, and where they get stuck.

Web Services Architecture

All compare data on data.medicare.gov is machine readable.

Starting with July 2012 release, data for all tools will be updated on data.medicare.gov at the same time as the data on the sites.

Web Services Architecture

Benefits of web services architecture --Data.medicare.gov - Enables other audiences to embed/reuse CMS data via an application programming interface (API).

Datasets can be customized and saved by users at low cost.

We can embed datasets on the Compare tools from data.medicare.gov and other users can embed our datasets onto their sites.

Page 16: Patrick Conway, M.D.,  MSc CMS Chief Medical Officer and

Web Services Architecture

We/others can combine our data with other sets (i.e., maps).

We/others can customize and tell stories with our data.

Ultimately, we will transition the downloadable databases for all tools to the data.medicare.gov platform.

Strategies for the future

Mobile versions of the tools

Mobile applications

Make our data available whenever possible so external stakeholders can put the data to use to improve the health system
