Presentation Documents
Healthcare claims are an important data source for health economics, outcomes, and comparative effectiveness research. Although researchers often rely on closed claims data sources (i.e., data sourced directly from a healthcare payer), open claims data sources (i.e., data sourced from clearinghouses and pharmacy systems) can provide insight and visibility into patient, provider, and payer characteristics that are not always identifiable in a closed system. Data ecosystems that include both closed and open claims data linked at the patient level create opportunities to expand the types of questions for which claims data are fit-for-purpose and mitigate limitations that come from using a closed or open claims data source alone.
In this theater presentation we will examine the strengths and limitations of closed and open claims data sources and explore RWE opportunities that exist in a hybrid claims data ecosystem.
