Manage episode 487006367 series 2296270
What happens when state health policymakers lose access to the very data they rely on?
In this episode of Health Care Rounds, John Marchica talks with David C. Radley, Ph.D., M.P.H., Director of Data and Analytics at The Center for Evidence-Based Policy and Senior Scientist at the Commonwealth Fund. They explore how states use administrative data to make informed Medicaid decisions, and why recent threats to public data infrastructure could undermine that progress.
Dr. Radley breaks down how his team turns raw data into actionable insights, how states are planning for the financial impact of high-cost therapies, and why cutting long-standing federal data sets could cripple efforts to address health disparities.
